Last night I dreamed about you, I dreamed that you were older
You were looking like Picasso with a scar across your shoulder
You were kneeling by the river, you were digging up the bodies
Buried long ago, Michelangelo
Last night I dreamed about you, I dreamed you were a pilgrim
On a highway out alone to find the mother of your children
Who were still unborn and waiting in the wings of some desire
Abandoned long ago, Michelangelo
Were you there at Armageddon, was Paris really burning
Could I have been the one to pull you from the point of no returning
And did I hear you calling out my name
Or was it forgotten long ago, Michelangelo?
ย
Last night I dreamed about you, I dreamed that you were riding
On a blood red painted pony, up where the heavens were dividing
And the angels turned to ashes, you came tumbling with them
To the earth so far below, 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 long ago, Michelangelo
Did you suffer at the end, would there be no one to remember?
Did you banish all the old ghosts with the terms of your surrender
And could you hear me calling out your name?
Well, I guess that I will never know, Michelangelo
Last night I dreamed about you, I dreamed that you were weeping
And your tears poured down like diamonds for a love beyond all keeping
And you caught them one by one in a million silk bandanas
That I gave you long ago, Michelangelo
