Iris

This is an old one, but a lot of folks say it's their favorite. So here it is on MeMu for the first time.

I recognize familiar songs inside my head
of which there exist no recording
And I find the dreams in which I know someone I've never met
Are oftentimes the most rewarding

Shafts of light crawl across my bedsheets
Time will pass me by for now
Here's to the one that I will never meet
And yet already know somehow

Iris, I know that I don't know you
But I'm assured that we will never part
No matter how alone you may feel
You can never escape the sound of your own heart

The sun has set on my empire
Wave to the castle and moat
I know that I will have to leave tomorrow
But all my goodbye's are stuck in my throat

Shafts of light crawl across my bedsheets
Time will pass me by for now
Here's to the one that I will never meet
And yet already know somehow

Iris, I know that I don't know you
But I'm assured that we will never part
No matter how alone you may feel
You can never escape the sound of your own heart

You would have already heard this one had you visited Dave Makes Music dot com.
