The Last Night Of Winter

Thanks for your letter, it made me feel better, I was down



And it gave me a lift, appeared the Goodyear blimp



The tree out your window is covered in pink snow



You put a few blossoms in the envelope, I didn't know



Now on the sidewalk, outside my P O Box, I'm a parade



I'm confetti of fuschia hearts, we are never really apart



You dreamed of me the last night of summer



You dreamed of me the last night of summer



You were coming, I was leaving, we met in the harbor



Where whaling ships dock, we threw some rocks



Everyone wanted you, I was not immune to the fever



That overtook the cast and crew, I couldn't get to you



But I had a secret, a torch to give you, I stole an hour



Or two to share the fruit I grew with you



I dreamed of you the last night of winter



I dreamed of you the last night of winter



Hidden treasure, buried long ago, of immeasurable gold



I'm drawing a map, connecting the dots, fusing the past to the present



I must always remember our moments together



And believe in magic, it exists just beneath the surface



New York City thinks it knows everything, the buildings



The people threaten to crush your body, your mind, your soul



But you keep writing and I'll keep writing and one day



The story will be told, all our oysters will unfold



You dreamed of me the last night of summer



I'll dream of you the last night of winter
