My last and longest dream
Dear black dream
She asked me what it was
I said, what does it mean?

She said that it will be all right
She said you've just had a troubled night
She said everything will be all right
She said you've just had a troubled night

I had this dream
In a strange black Northern hotel
I had this dream
And it felt like I'd been through Hell

She said, 'Do you have villains in your life? '
Well, I guess I do
'Are they vindictive and often cruel? '
I thought she must know them too

She said that it will be all right
She said you've just had a troubled night
She said everything will be all right
She said you've just had a troubled night

I had this dream
In a strange black Northern hotel
I had this dream
And it felt like I'd been through Hell
I dream of her in the colour black
She dreams of me in the colour red
Her red is soft and warm like cloth
My black is dear black dream

She said that it will be all right
She said you've just had a troubled night
She said everything will be all right
She said you've just had a troubled night

I had this dream
In a strange black Northern hotel
I had this dream
And it felt like I'd been through Hell

My love and I sit in bed in the dark
My love and I sit in bed in the dark
Wondering who sings better in the dark
Is it Townes Van Zandt or is it Guy Clark?
