Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me
Eternal Yearning: A Dream of Love and False Alarms
Lyrics
Last night I dreamt
Last night, in my dream
That somebody loved me
I imagined someone had feelings for me
No hope, no harm
I didn't expect anything, no danger or damage
Just another false alarm
It was just another disappointment, not real love
Last night I felt
Last night, I experienced genuine embrace
Real arms around me
Real arms were holding me
No hope, no harm
Again, no expectations, no harm intended
Just another false alarm
However, it turned out to be another false hope
So, tell me how long
How much time will pass until the most recent disappointment?
Before the last one?
How much time before the right person comes into my life?
And tell me how long
An acknowledgment that this recurring cycle is familiar
Before the right one?
Yet, the cycle of hope and disappointment continues
The story is old - I know
The theme of unrequited love is well-known to me
But it goes on
Despite its familiarity, the cycle persists
The story is old - I know
The narrative of unreciprocated love is recognized
But it goes on
But it perpetuates without resolution
Oh, goes on
The cycle continues
And on
Continuing endlessly
Oh, goes on
Reiterating the perpetual nature of the cycle
And on
Emphasizing the ongoing, unending cycle of unfulfilled love
