Michelangelo Lyrics

Michelangelo lyrics

Last night I dreamed about you
I dreamed that you were older
You were
looking like Picasso
With a scar across your shoulder
You were kneeling
by the river
You were digging up the bodies
Buried long
ago
Michelangelo

Last night I dreamed about you
I dreamed you were
a pilgrim
On a highway out alone to find
The mother of your
children
Who were still unborn and waiting
In the wings of some
desire
Abandoned long ago
Michelangelo

Were you there at
Armageddon
Was Paris really burning
Could I have been the one to pull
you
From the point of no returning
And did I hear you calling out my
name
Or was it forgotten long ago
Michelangelo

Last night I
dreamed about you
I dreamed that you were riding
On a blood red painted
pony
Up where the heavens were dividing
And the angels turned to
ashes
You came tumbling with them to earth
So Far
below
Michelangelo

Last night I dreamed about you
I dreamed that
you were dying
In a field of thorn and roses
With a hawk about you
crying
For the warrior slain in battle
From an arrow driven deep inside
you
Long ago
Michelangelo

Did you suffer at the end
Would there
be no one to remember
Did you banish all the old ghosts
With the terms of
surrender
And could you hear me calling out your name
Well I guess that I
will never know
Michelangelo

Last night I dreamed about you
I
dreamed that you were weeping
And your tears poured down like
diamonds
For a love beyond all keeping
And you caught them one by
one
In a million silk bandanas that I gave you long ago
Michelangelo
