Send Me the Pillow You Dream On
Dreams Unfold: Longing and Memory in Sally Vaughn's Melodic Yearning
Lyrics
Send me the pillow
Request for the pillow
That you dream on
Emphasizing the dream aspect
Oh, don't you know
Expressing surprise or concern
That I still care for you?
Affirmation of continued care
Send me the pillow
Repetition of the request
That you dream on
Reiteration of the dream association
So darling, I can dream
Expressing desire to share dreams
On it too
Indicating reciprocity in dreaming
Each night while I'm sleeping
Highlighting loneliness during sleep
Oh, so lonely
Emphasizing the emotional state
I dream about those dreams that once were true
Reflecting on past dreams that were real
Please send me the pillow
Repetition of the pillow request
That you dream on
Restating the connection between dreams
So darling, I can dream
Reaffirming the desire to share dreams
On it too
Continuing the theme of reciprocal dreaming
I've waited so long for you to write me
Expressing a longing for communication
But a memory is all that's left of you
Acknowledging only a memory remains
So, send me the pillow
Repetition of the pillow request
That you dream on
Reiterating the link between dreams
So darling, I can dream
Affirmation of the desire to dream together
On it too
Continuing the theme of shared dreams
So darling, I can dream
Reiteration of the desire to dream together
On it too
Final emphasis on shared dreaming
