Pikey, remember when we met and we kissed on a stone?
We moved away, just the two of us, so far from home?
Do you remember when we wandered through the green fields together?
You held my hand, you promised you would hold it forever?
Summertime, you were there
You stood by side, shadows fell everywhere
like a dream, oh. like a dream, oh.
Gathering the hazelnuts that will help me to learn as I
Squint my eyes, far too many lies that I cannot discern
All the friends who used to play with me retreated for the season
The dreams that felt so pillowy dissolved into reason
Autumn came, gray and brown
You stood by my side as the leaves blew around
like a dream, oh. like a dream, oh.
You drew a map upon our wall showing how the land lies
You stocked up our basement with so many supplies
You made me walk through the gloomy woods for hours each day
You lit a fire, you told me you had something to say
Winter comes, don’t despair
You won’t see my face, but you know I’ll be there
like a dream, oh. like a dream, oh.
Pikey, can you hear me now, cause it’s hard to be brave?
Pikey, if I close my eyes can you see my hand wave?
People come with open arms; I don’t want to touch them
If you were here, you’d guard the door, with thick hands you’d crush them
Springtime, robin’s nest
Green shoots up again, little knife in my chest
like a dream, oh. like a dream, oh.
