Jon Allen
Waking Dream
Clouds grown in a waking dream
Gently form the slum
Happy window sills the dusty rain
Frozen in a Mason Jar
Playground loneliness
Keeps the black dog blues around my brain

Save me I’m falling through that open window
Save me I’m failing now
Save me I’m drowning in that well of wishing
Save me I’m going down

Looking out beyond the gates
Hour after hour
One day I might just get my parole
Throwing stones at history
Wishing time could fly
Show me how to be invisible

Save me I’m falling through that open window
Save me I’m failing now
Save me I’m drowning in that well of wishing
Save me I’m going down
