In a dream I saw you walkin'

Like a kid alive and talking

That was you

In the classroom you were teachin'

On the streets you were policing

That was you

To the one I now know most

I will tell them of your ghost

Like a thing that never ever was

And all that ever mattered

Will some day turn back to batter

Like a joke

Behind thin walls you hid your feelings

Takes four legs to make a ceilin' like a thing

In a dream I saw you walkin'

With your friends alive and talking

That was you

Well I saw it in your movement

And even though you never knew it

Well I knew just how sweet it could be

If you'd never left these streets
