"Dream Song" lyrics - MATTHEWS' SOUTHERN COMFORT

I had the strangest dream last night and a girl before me stood
But as I turned my head to look she changed to womanhood

She stood so strangely silent and she didn't say a word
She just took my hand and led me on and whispered words unheard

And I thought Oh, no not again.
Oh, no not again.

I heard the saddest cry last night like infants sometimes do
A child beside me I beheld and before my eyes it grew

Then strange things started happening, like a child who walked away
Not turning round to cast a smile, not knowing what to say

And I thought Oh, no not again.
Oh, no not again.

I watched her fade so slowly and I couldn't even try
To reach out my hand and bring her back I just gave a saddened sigh

I felt so many strange things last night, like a heavy joyful heart
And as I opened up my eyes, we drifted right apart

And I thought Oh, no not again.
Oh, no not again.
