What a nice surprise
To close my eyes
And find you there
You know, it’d been some time
Since you crossed my mind
But that only goes to show
How deeply you are woven
Into the fabric of my being
But you stayed the night
And you bathed me in your light
Thanks for dropping in to my dream
Waking life is rife with rules
For keeping things in place
You can’t just go around breaking laws
Of time and space
If you knocked on my door
At quarter to four
There would have been a scene
But it’s easily arranged
When you’re moving through the astral plane
Thanks for dropping in on my dream
Well could you say
That this is all a play
Of my own creation
I wrote the script
And read both parts
Pure imagination
But the radiant spirit
That paid me a visit
And wrapped itself around my soul
Well I got that from you
The you I knew
Thirty years ago
We always swore
We’d live next door
It was our little running joke
Stop by at any hour
For a cup of flour
We are old and broke
But our times, no doubt
From here on out
Will be few and far between
It was short, but it was sweet, dear
Our dance across the ether
So thanks for dropping in
We may never meet this way again
Thanks for dropping in to my dream
