More Like A Dream

from Curtains by Paris Street

/

about

The setting for this song is Great Shiplock Park in Richmond, Virginia. It was originally recorded under that title on the same day I visited the park. This version is completely different than that earlier version, which I still like and hope to re-record at some point.

lyrics

We hung by the river
Watching the train
Cursing the summer
And praying for rain

Our friends at the landing
Out by the slave dock
We said we would join them
Around 4 o’clock

But first we were spending
Some time by ourselves
Just the two of us
And nobody else

And a breeze finally showed up
To relieve the stale air
You smiled and looked at me
As it went through your hair

And the song of the train
Was calling out our names
To the birds and the breeze
Like a wonderful dream

You knew I’d be leaving
Though no one else did
Almost as good as me
At keeping things hid

And there is no doubt that
You will be the one
That I will miss the most
For as long as I’m gone

It’s more like a dream
Than an old memory
Just a wonderful dream

You were perfect to me

We did not rush the moment
We stayed by ourselves
Just the two of us
And nobody else

We enjoyed the moment
This time by ourselves
Just the two of us
