Dream Baby

Baby child

Baby child

I hear you often

Singing in my dreams

Your infancy

Then replaced

We're the same age

Standing face to face

Speaking in reverse

Unaware of the truth

All our plans

Forgotten sense

Of purpose

Forgotten sense of place

These waking dreams

Make me see

You walking

Or ordering a beer

Kissing your first love

Or calling out to me

In my heart

There's the part

That I gave you

When you were in the womb

Did you hear

The songs I played

The selfish worries

The promises I made

And your mother laughing

Happy birthday

Happy birthday

Happy birthday

Happy birthday
