Verse 3

met my wife at a party when I drank too much

My son is married and tells me we don’t talk enough

It’s so predictable, yesterday my dream was of you

Beyond the ridge on the left, the sun had left the sky

Between the trees and pond you put your hand in mine

Said, “Time has bridled us both but I remember it, too”

Chorus

And though an autumn-time lullaby sang our new-born love to sleep

I dreamt I traveled and found you there

In the woods one Christmas Eve, with me
