(A lone voice whispers)
I had a vision
Late one night
I dreamt I saw my true love
Dressed in stunning wedding white
While on this life's mission
She spoke to me like an apparition
She said
Put all mortal things aside and choose me above all your pride and ambition
And I will love you like Eve loved Adam
Before the greatest of falls
My dilemma is
Even though I heard her call
For she comes every night
Even though she spoke in another's language
Even though I dreamt I could once more walk with someone special and so beautiful
Who would help me win
I remembered
Eve cheated on Adam
Bringing sin and chaos into the world
Through temptation
I dreamt of all of Creation
And saw how sin corrupted all nations
So each night I turn and walk away and wonder
How can this be my true love
Who appears in my dreams from The Great In-Between
As that ghostly apparition always pleads
Please Pappie
Please stay
Don't leave me lonely again
By walking away
