Only A Dream Lyrics - Come On Come On - Mary Chapin Carpenter

I can recall the sound of the wind 

As it blew throught the trees and the trees would bend 

I can recall the smell of the rain 

On a hot summer night 

Coming through the screen 

I'd crawl in your bed when the lightning flashed 

And i'd still be there when the storm had passed 

Dead to the world, to the morning cast 

Its light all around your room 

We lived on a street where the tall elm shade 

Was as green as the grass and as cool as a blade 

That you held in your teeth as we lay on our backs 

Staring up at the blue and the blue stared back

I used to believe we were just like those trees 

We'd grown just as tall and as proud as we pleased 

With our feet on the ground and our arms in the breeze 

Under a sheltering sky 

Twirl me about, and twirl me around 

Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground 

And when i look up at you looking down, 

Say it was only a dream 

A big truck was parked in the drive one day 

They wrapped us in paper and moved us away 

Your room was no longer next door to mine 

And this kid sister thing was old by that time 

But oh how our dreams went bump in the night 

And the voices downstairs getting into a fight 

And the next day a silence you could cut with a knife 

And feel like a blade at your throat

Twirl me about and twirl me around 

Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground 

When i look up at you looking down 

Say it as only a dream 

The day you left home you got an early start 

I watched your car back out in the dark 

I opened the door to your room down the hall 

I turned on the light 

And all that i saw 

Was a bed and a desk and couple of tacks 

No sign of someone who expects to be back 

It must have been one hell of a suitcase you packed 

Twirl me about, twirl me around 

Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground 

When i look up at you looking down 

Say it was only a dream
