9. My Darling True

(Real Thing, 2007)
I had a dream I could make you
With a dropper and some ice
And some steam from a lighter
On a beaker tilted nice

Every time I get a little closer
It's like wine flooding in the cellar
Could you be my darling true
Could you be my darling true

I'm well known, I have colleagues
And students standing by
What I don't show is you rule me
And fool me every night

Just last night I caught you in the mirror
Just in time to ask a little clearer
Could you be my darling true
Could you be my darling true

Yes it seems I am flying
Above my offices below
It seems I am seeing
The one and only thing I need to know

I had a dream we were dancing
To something very soft
Was it really you crying
When sunshine cast you off

Give it time, I'll work a little harder
We will find the mystery for the larder
Could you be my darling true
Could you be my darling true
