From the recording Tails, Tugs, & Teardrops (The Full Pawprint)
The quiet comfort of dreaming about the one you love when they’re not around.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Clouds in my head, tail waggin’ in sleep
Footsteps echo down memory street
I see your smile, feel the keys in the door
And I rush to greet you… just like before
[Verse 2]
But the light stays dim, no creak in the floor
I blink awake, but it’s not half-past four
So I sigh and curl in a warm moonbeam
Back to waitin’… back to the dream
[Pre-Chorus]
Every night, I run to you
Through stars, through fields, past skies so blue
[Chorus]
I’m waitin’ in a dream where you come home
Where love’s the leash that leads me on
A soft little bark in a slumbery theme
You’re never far when I’m deep in a dream
[Bridge]
Maybe the sun tells lies sometimes
But in my dream, your light still shines
[Chorus]
I’m waitin’ in a dream where you come home
Even the stars know I’m not alone
And when you walk in--real, not a dream
That’s the moment I wake up and beam
