Cat Heaven

(album: Perfecting Loneliness - 2002)

In the dream that awakened me
You had come and taken me
To a sea of stars
The cat stood in the flowers, two ears above

And the ground that was under me
Was holding me so wonderfully
On a bed of leaves
You were there with me, we were free

Everything we saw
Was beautiful and strong
And I knew we belonged

Then the birds came and carried us
To the sky and married us
On a bed of stars
Where I was always yours and you were mine

And in the long black eternity
I loved you so perfectly
In the words of clouds
Like a bird sings to his flowers, and I was heard

Everything I saw
Was everything I'd want
And this world had just begun to live

Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
I can't wake up from this

Everyone was forgiven
Made hopeful, made living
Made winning tonight

So captain, please consider me
Let the boats deliver me
When I close my eyes
Drive, captain, drive, it's time

For everything to be perfect
For everything to stop hurting tonight

Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
