(I'm Having Those) Nightmares Again
Abandonment anxiety and devotion
1.
B G#m
Why are you so brutal in my dreams?
C#m A
You treat me like we've hardly even met!
B G#m
Is there something really wrong with us
C#m A
or am I so afraid that you'll forget?2.
B G#m
Is there a basis in reality
C#m A
or is it just the product of my fears?
B G#m
Am I so afraid that you will turn on me
C#m A
after we've been together for so many years?3.
B G#m
Would you really simply turn away
C#m A
if things don't go just as we planned?
B G#m
Are we together from the grace of love
C#m A
or to satisfy some animal demand?4.
B G#m
I'm having those nightmares again.
C#m A
I suppose it should come as no surprise;
B G#m
as you become more precious to me it's no wonder
C#m A
I should fear you're really someone I won't recognize5.
B G#m
Taught to have faith in God alone.
C#m A
There's no one else on whom I can depend.
B G#m
But isn't this the Spirit in our love?
C#m A
And aren't we sworn together 'til the end6.
B
of the endless dream?
G#m
I make this my prayer:
C#m
I will be for you
A
and always there
G#m7/B
through the endless dream.Performed in Mindful Webworkshop #8, 2016 Sep 30
