Dream Letter - Brendan Perry

Please listen, darling, to my empty prayer

Sleep inside my dreams tonight

All I need to know tonight

How are you and my child?

Oh is he a soldier or is he a dreamer?

Is he mama’s little man?

Does he help you when he can?

Does he ask about me?

Just like a soldier and I fight in wars

That the world never knows about

But I never win them loud

There’s no crowds around me

But I get to thinking about the old days

When love was here to stay

I wonder if we’d ever tried

Oh what I’d give to hold him
