Goes Without Saying

You came into my dream last night

Straight out of the blue

You always showed up uninvited

That's how I knew it was you

You always made an impression

Though it's never the one that I want

And then you make for the exit

For another bed to haunt

And it goes without saying

It's just a matter of fact

Like theories of gravity

Or the laws of math

It's a blanket statement

It's a shame the words get in the way

Cause it goes without saying,

We still say them anyway.

You came into my sleep last night

I swore that it was real

Now nightmares don't mean nothing

Fantasy has lost appeal

I suppose that it don't matter

If I ever catch some Zzz's

You told me to never say never

Nevertheless it's plain to see

It used to be that I could fall asleep

But now I'm just falling

And now it seems that when I'm all alone

I still hear you calling.
