Did I Catch You Dreaming

Did I catch you dreaming?
Did I catch you drifting away?
Did I catch you hopping a train
To an ancient rendezvous?
Did I watch you leaning?
Falling softly into the grey
Of an absent moon lilting through the noon
Of an absent day

Are you troubled and lonely?
Or are you at peace in your heart?
Does the scuffling pace of the human race
Echo through the dark, lovely dark?
No, I hope when dreaming
There is only dreamland to do
And when you awake
I hope dreams will wait for you

Did I catch you dreaming?
Are you floating high in the blue?
Did I catch that gleam in your sigh
As you fly new altitudes?
Are you safe from scheming?
Are you far from merry-go-rounds?
Will the hazy forms of an aimless morn
Wash away the sounds?

Are you curled and cozy
In the labyrinth womb of your mind?
Are you something rare in the parcelled air
Of a distant time, far from thine?
Yes I hope when dreaming
There is only dreamland to do
And when you awake
I hope dreams will follow you
