You came into my dream uninvited
unaware
flinging your bedroom window open
leaning out and laughing
this side of the tank traps
the invaded playground
the man with the gun
the man we never saw
We walked together
down the invisible path
to the distant woods
close to the railway track
I knew it was a dream
but you woke something in me
something deep down
I wanted to open my eyes
but it was impossible:
inside a dream
I knew it was a dream
When I came round
hours later
your bedroom window was empty
It was too late
and too early
