II. I remember dreams of flying
Songs of Becoming, an Art Song Cycle for Voice and Chamber Orchestra
By Daniel De Togni
Text by Daniel De Togni
II. I remember dreams of flying I remember dreams of flying
I remember dreams of flying
of losing teeth
of old faces
of funnel clouds reaching down from the sky to touch the Earth.
that's how I knew I was dreaming.
I remember sleep walking
waking up in other places:
on the sofa downstairs,
in a tree outside.
I remember black-and-white memories
of hazy, yellow summers,
and quiet, blue winters.
I remember my old town
sitting on the roof
steam floating up to a starry blanket trees,
like fingers, gently stroking the sky.
