The Dark Is Rising

I dreamed of you on my farm

I dreamed of you in my arms

But dreams are always wrong

I never dreamed I'd hurt you

I never dreamed I'd lose you

In my dreams I'm always strong



But now the creek is rising

And all my bridges burned



I always dreamed of big crowds

Plumes of smoke and high clouds

But dreams don't last for long



I have my suspicions

When the stars are in position

All will be revealed

But I know that until then

Unless the stars surrender

All wll be concealed



And now the snow is falling

And all my fences torn

I know you need someone

And I can hear someone

Somewhere in this song



I dreamed that I was walking

and the two of us were talking

Of all life's mystery

The words that flow between friends

Winding streams without end

I wanted you to see



But it can seem surprising

When you find yourself alone

And now the dark is rising

And a brand new moon is born



I always dreamed I'd love you

I never dreamed I'd lose you

In my dreams I'm always strong
