In the memory of a dream
Moving through the house that I grew up in
Finding all the rooms are empty

Letting go of children's things
Wondering if I was ever ready
To live the life that I have chosen

This is a day like any other
I'm not afraid today
To be alone
Or think of home

Dreaming that I'm awake
Safe in the cradle of your arms
Safe in the thought that you are here
Dreaming I'm not afraid
Waiting for you to disappear
Dreaming that you are really here
To stay

You are what is lost in me
All of what is sacred and unholy
Leaving what is left unspoken
I [bad word] myself again
Practicing the art of being broken
To keep the hope of being whole

This is a day like any other
All of the things I've had to love or fear
Have disappeared

Dreaming that I'm awake
Safe in the cradle of your arms
Safe in the thought that you are here
Dreaming I'm not afraid
Waiting for you to disappear
Dreaming that you are really here
To stay

Learning how to close the door
To the rooms I won't be going back to
Where I leave a child dreaming

Dreaming that I'm awake
Safe in the cradle of your arms
Safe in the thought that you are here
Dreaming I'm not afraid
Waiting for you to disappear
Dreaming that you are really here
To stay

To stay...
