Dondante lyrics

In a dream I saw you walk Like a kid alive and talking, that was you In the classroom, you were teaching On the streets you were policing, that was you To the one I now know most I will tell them of your ghost, like a thing That never, ever was And all that ever mattered Will some day turn back to batter, like a joke Behind thin walls, you hid your feelings Takes four legs to make a ceiling, like a thing In a dream I saw you walk With your friends alive and talking, that was you Well, I saw it in your movements And even though you never knew it, well I knew How sweet it could be If you'd never left these streets You had me worried, so worried that this would last You had me worried, so worried that this would last But now I'm learning, learning that this will pass But now I'm learning, learning that this will pass
