[Verse 1]
CLast night I dreamed about you, I dreamed that you were older.
You were looking like Picasso, With a Amscar across your shoulder.
You were Fkneeling by the river, You were digging up the bodies.
Buried lCong ago,    FMichelCangelo.
[Verse 2]
CLast night I dreamed about you, I dreamed you were a pilgrim.
On a highway out alone to find, The Ammother of your children.
Who were sFtill unborn and waiting, In the wings of some desire.
Aandoned lCong ago,    FMichelCangelo.
Were you tAmhere at Armageddon Was GParis really burning.
Could I have Ambeen the one to pull you, From the Fpoint of no returning.
FAnd did I hear you calling out my name, Or was it forgotten Clong agoF.
 FMichelanCgelo     oCoh oh o   Fho  Coh o Foh o GohC.
[Verse 3]
LCast night I dreamed about you, I dreamed that you were riding.
On a blood red painted pony, Up where the Amheavens were dividing.
And the Fangels turned to ashes, You came tumbling with them to earth.
So CFar below   FMichelaCngelo.
[Verse 4]
CLast night I dreamed about you, I dreamed that you were dying.
In a field of thorn and roses, With a Amhawk about you crying.
For the Fwarrior slain in battle, From an arrow driven deep inside you.
CLong ago   FMicheClangelo.
Did you Amsuffer at the end, Would there be Gno one to remember.
Did you Ambanish all the old ghosts, With the Fterms of surrender.
FAnd could you hear me calling out your name, Well I guess that I will Cnever know.
 FMichelanCgelo     oCoh oh o   Fho  Coh o Foh o GohC.
[Verse 5]
CLast night I dreamed about you, I dreamed that you were weeping.
And your tears poured down like diamonds, For a Amlove beyond all keeping.
And you Fcaught them one by one, In a million silk bandanas that I gave you lCong agoF.

Buried long ago, Michelangelo.

Last night I dreamed about you, I dreamed that you were dying.

In a field of thorn and roses, With a hawk about you crying.

For the warrior slain in battle, From an arrow driven deep inside you.
