4. But A Dream
Lyrics by Crabappledave

Once within a long long while
I dream of holes and start to smile
An arcing swing, a putting long
A cunning toad, an ape so strong

And in my dreaming, waking sleep
I see a vicious hole so deep
To swallow all but smallest par
I dreamt that holes had gone too far

But then a light breaks through the cloud
A victory cheer that rings so loud
It chills the blood within the heart
A toad's foul plans would fall apart

The valiant ball cuts through the air
It arcs, then settles, over there
Beyond a buncle, past a dog
Bound for green, a hole to clog

And for a moment I do see
A future bright and filled with glee
The winning strike, the killing blow
That slays the course, and lays it low

Come with me now and share my dream
An idle wish that few have seen
Dispair's defeat, a raucous win
I dream no more, directly in

But A Dream

During these times of pain
And the Autumn rain
What I want so much
Is your loving touch
You calm my nerves
You reach my soul
When I think I’ve had too much
Is when you hold
Me in your arms
It’s as if your magic charms
Heal deep within my being
At least that’s the feeling
I get every time you’re close
And when you’re away
That’s what I miss the most
During these times of pain
I remember the days
When things were fine
We could do what we want
And we had all of the time
In the world
Do you recall I fed the squirrels
And you fed the birds
We loved waking up early
And they were what we heard
The first thing
We stayed in bed
Simply being
With nothing important to do
What a life we led
Yeah, just me and you
Just me and you
