Miss Templeton's 7000th Dream

She recognizes the voice on the phone
But she can't recall his face
She hears knocking on her door at night
But he never leaves a trace

She's had 7000 nights of the very same scene
Repeated again and again in her dreams
A muffled scream and a broken fall
As the moonlight creeps in down the end of the hall
It's just the stars stooping down to sing their goodbyes
While a man with a briefcase and hollowed out eyes speaks
Over and over again
Over and over again

Oooo

Stranger things have happened
In my time
