Mexico Lyrics

This morning I woke up
I had a melody in mind
Felt like I should sing it but
I wouldn't call it mine

And then I'll make you coffee,
and then I'll make you plans,
then the song slips away
like water through my hands.

The last thing I remember is
is the silence taking hold
I'm in and out of dreams,
I'm spinning way out of control:
you gave me something beautiful,
you gave me something true
I try to make it mine;
somehow I'm just not getting through.

Dreams are just like melodies
a delicate simplicity:
fill them up with words,
and drown them with philosophy.
The dream I had was beautiful,
but I let it get away from me...
I let it get away from me.

I used to have designs to make
the whole world know my name,
Was too close to the heat,
I watched it all go up in flames,
gave me something beautiful
gave me something true
I'm finding a way to complicate it
like I always do.

Remember what I said
when we were down in Mexico?
This dream we share is real
and we can never let it go.
I know I'm getting older,
I'm feeling like a ghost:
the way I feel right now
I know I must be getting close...
Must be getting close.

Dreams are just like melodies
a delicate simplicity:
fill them up with words,
and drown them with philosophy.
The dream I had was beautiful,
but I let it get away from me...

I'm not the kind of man
let it go so easily.
