Lyrics

Last night I dreamed about Doris Lessing
She had very grey hair
She was eating a meal
I wanted to dance for her on the table
I wanted to please her
I wanted to be
Everything she'd want me to be

Tonight it got dark before I got home
The pavement was shining with dirt and with rain
I was carrying the day like a donkey uncertain
If the carrot of evening
Would help the day's load slip away

There's a time at night
When the space around you
Gets so eternal you can't hear a sound
No cars no lights no voices no bounds to
Calm fears there's no choice in whatever you say

I wanted to dance for her on the table
I wanted to please her I wanted to be
Everything
Everything
Everything
Everything
She would want me to be
