Tim BuckleyAbout
From “Dream Letter” one gets the expression of regret and despair. The song is directed at Mary Guibert, Tim’s former wife and his son, Jeff Buckley. As the title suggests, the song should be viewed as a dream letter – a letter he never got to send about the longing for his family.
Dream Letter Lyrics
[Intro]
Lady time, fly away
I've been thinkin'
'Bout my yesterdays
[Verse 1]
Oh please, listen darlin', to my empty prayer
Sleep inside my dreams tonight
All I need to know tonight
How're you and my child?
[Verse 2]
Oh is he a soldier or is he a dreamer?
Is he mama's little man?
Does he help you when he can?
Oh, does he ask about me?
[Verse 3]
Ah just like a soldier boy
Ah but I fight in wars the world never knows about
Oh but I never win them loud
Oh there's no crowds around me
[Verse 4]
When I get to thinkin' about the old days
When love was here to stay
I wonder if we'd ever tried
Oh what I'd give to hold you
