Korea

On a cruise ship in the 1980s
The ocean was rabid and the engine wasn't right
You got a tan and I spent our savings
And we somehow danced the foxtrot every night

It was only a dream
If I murmur let me flail, baby, let me shake
It was only a dream
And I have the nightmares when I'm awake

On Wall Street in the 1920s
You told fortunes for 75 cents
You knew the future but your voice was funny
And the bankers weren't sure quite what you meant

It was only a dream
If I murmur let me flail, baby, let me shake
It was only a dream
And I have the nightmares when I'm awake

On an island in the 1490s
I tried out for the band
You arranged monoliths that spelled out in their language
"Kill the white sailors when they land"

It was only a dream
If I murmur let me flail, baby, let me shake
It was only a dream
And I have the nightmares when I'm awake

I was happy when Latrell Sprewell was my best friend
And I was happy when a Korean website taught me to fly again
And I was happy when I married a stranger on a subway train
And I was happy when the fires burned forever on the open range
