[Verse 1]
I woke with sand on my tongue
From a road I never took
Your name was still on my hand
Like a note in a borrowed book
The kettle hissed in the sink
And the floorboards knew my step
I saw your coat by the chair
Then the moment slipped and left
[Pre-Chorus]
I been chasing that scene
Through the steam and the rain
Every time I reach out
It fades away again
[Chorus]
I dreamed you back to me (back to me)
I dreamed you back to me (back to me)
Blue in the morning light
Gone by the edge of the night
I dreamed you back to me (back to me)
I dreamed you back to me (back to me)
Hold that old fading spark
Long enough to mark my heart
[Verse 2]
At the corner café
The cups were stained with gold
A stranger laughed like you used to
And I lost my grip on cold
I traced your face in the foam
On a plate with cracked-up glaze
Then the band played soft and slow
Like they knew your disappearing ways
[Pre-Chorus]
I been keeping your ghost
In the folds of my sleeve
Every little new morning
Won't let the old thing leave
[Chorus]
I dreamed you back to me (back to me)
I dreamed you back to me (back to me)
Blue in the morning light
Gone by the edge of the night
I dreamed you back to me (back to me)
I dreamed you back to me (back to me)
Hold that old fading spark
Long enough to mark my heart
[Bridge]
Maybe dreams are just doors
That swing on a chain
You come through shining once
Then I stand in the rain
Still I love that flash
Still I call your name
Even if the air turns thin
Even if it breaks the frame
[Chorus]
I dreamed you back to me (back to me)
I dreamed you back to me (back to me)
Blue in the morning light
Gone by the edge of the night
I dreamed you back to me (back to me)
I dreamed you back to me (back to me)
Hold that old fading spark
Long enough to mark my heart
