words and music by paula mcmath

I had a dream you needed me
you needed my mouth
you needed my skin
you needed my warmth
needed me to take you in
you wanted what I wanted to give
and I told you to take it
and so I let you see me naked

it wasn’t your need it was mine
I needed your touch
needed to feel solid flesh
to know I’m real
I wanted what you wanted to give
and you told me to take it
and so I saw you naked

the push and the pull
the deep and the space
the hand and the mind
the line ‘n the face
the air and the sweat
the taste and the squeeze
the loss and the gain
the tension and the release

I had a dream you needed me
you needed my eyes
needed to be seen
you needed to cry
you needed to rain
we wanted what we gave
no more need to fake it
’cause under it all we’re all just naked
I had a dream
