I wake up in the morning
From a thousand fevered dreams
And every different story
Has you in every scene

In one you are my lover
We die in some dark war
While taking distant cover
On a dim and barren shore

When the soldiers burst upon us
We held our last embrace
Their souls consumed in blood lust
Death came to us in haste

In another you are married
To a man you do not love
There’s a cabin on a prairie
Three children in beds above

I find you by the river
With tears upon your face
Death came as a cold shiver
Each fevered child from his place

A dancer and a painter
A duchess and a squire
A father and a daughter
Unfold across the wire

And with every single witness
And every single breath
There is love and pain and sadness
As each story ends in death
