O, the Dreams She Brought!

So far I have come just in time to sit and gather my strength
Ginny sits and ginny speaks, we take a walk down the street
We step on cherries

My lover sleeps
(I dream of bobcats)
Then there's me
(That jump and lunge at me)
My sister sleeps against the wall
(I do not fear them, I do not fear them)
But I don't sleep
(I dream of bobcats)
I let the stars roll in
(That jump and lunge at me)
And before I know it, there's the sun
(I do not fear them, I do not fear them)

I chew a fig mint gumball
It tastes of wintergreen
I recall all the shame of a small midwestern dream
That I could love
And do my thing

My lover sleeps
(I dream of bobcats)
Then there's me
(That jump and lunge at me)
My sister sleeps against the wall
(I do not fear them, I do not fear them)
But I don't sleep
(I dream of bobcats)
I let the stars roll in
(That jump and lunge at me)
And before I know it, there's the sun
(I do not fear them, I do not fear them)

July came, and she went
And she left a volcanic rock in my hands
She picked it up for me
When she was abroad
At the temple of mercury

Oh, the dreams she brought
Oh, the dreams she brought
Oh, the dreams she brought
Oh, the dreams she brought
Oh, the dreams she brought
Oh, the dreams she brought
Oh, the dreams she brought
Oh, the dreams she brought
