Dream On, My Love

“Dream On, My Love” — A song about memory, myth, and the mystery of love beyond loss. Gaelic Ballad Form · ~70–80 BPM · Female emotive voice.
This song originated from a poem I wrote in 1966 titled God Called You From Nothing. Though not biblical, the phrase echoes mythic and emotional themes of creation, calling, and loss. It may resemble later works like Ron Tranmer’s The Broken Chain, but this line came from my own canon—unbidden and untraceable.
Most of the Joe Pegasus Band gave their efforts to build this song and video. Special thanks to Joe, Online Copilot, and Perchance.

00:00:19,010 --> 00:00:24,209
I've gazed into shadow and found nothing to keep.

2
00:00:25,049 --> 00:00:26,190
No secret,

3
00:00:26,250 --> 00:00:27,390
no treasure,

4
00:00:27,449 --> 00:00:30,370
no soul in the deep.

5
00:00:30,979 --> 00:00:33,419
This life is a flicker,

6
00:00:33,439 --> 00:00:36,419
a spark in the black.

7
00:00:37,050 --> 00:00:39,390
We rise out of silence,

8
00:00:39,410 --> 00:00:42,370
to silence fall back.

9
00:00:43,370 --> 00:00:44,209
Dream on,

10
00:00:44,249 --> 00:00:45,449
my love.

11
00:00:45,489 --> 00:00:47,770
Our dreams are the flame.

12
00:00:48,190 --> 00:00:50,169
Crystal or shadow,

13
00:00:50,209 --> 00:00:52,590
they're never the same.

14
00:00:53,029 --> 00:00:57,989
Gather the blessings that drift through the air.

15
00:00:58,929 --> 00:01:07,809
Plant them like gardens and tend them with care.

16
00:01:11,629 --> 00:01:14,039
No kingdom awaits us,

17
00:01:14,250 --> 00:01:17,770
no crown and no throne.

18
00:01:17,830 --> 00:01:20,229
The graves hold no voices.

19
00:01:20,250 --> 00:01:22,800
We walk here alone.

20
00:01:23,429 --> 00:01:26,250
Like clouds on the tide,

21
00:01:26,310 --> 00:01:29,770
ever shifting and pale.

22
00:01:29,810 --> 00:01:31,009
They wander,

23
00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:32,190
they vanish,

24
00:01:32,209 --> 00:01:36,110
they leave but a trail.

25
00:01:36,170 --> 00:01:36,929
Dream on,

26
00:01:37,050 --> 00:01:38,250
my love.

27
00:01:38,270 --> 00:01:40,929
Our dreams are the flame.

28
00:01:40,970 --> 00:01:42,970
Crystal or shadow,

29
00:01:43,009 --> 00:01:45,330
they're never the same.

30
00:01:45,849 --> 00:01:50,989
Gather the blessings that drift through the air.

31
00:01:51,729 --> 00:01:56,910
Plant them like gardens and tend them with care.

32
00:02:21,409 --> 00:02:23,670
Between dark oblivion,

33
00:02:23,730 --> 00:02:27,390
our candles still burn.

34
00:02:27,429 --> 00:02:29,770
A match lights the heavens,

35
00:02:29,790 --> 00:02:33,409
to dust we return.

36
00:02:33,489 --> 00:02:35,830
Our visions may vanish,

37
00:02:35,869 --> 00:02:39,469
but still they remain.

38
00:02:39,630 --> 00:02:45,110
So let us make morning as bright as the rain.

39
00:02:45,770 --> 00:02:46,589
Dream on,

40
00:02:46,630 --> 00:02:47,800
my love.

41
00:02:47,909 --> 00:02:50,550
Our dreams are the flame.

42
00:02:50,570 --> 00:02:52,570
Crystal or shadow,

43
00:02:52,610 --> 00:02:55,369
they're never the same.

44
00:02:55,429 --> 00:03:01,309
Gather the blessings that drift through the air.

45
00:03:01,330 --> 00:03:07,770
Plant them like gardens and tend them with care.

46
00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:12,969
If the abyss is empty,

47
00:03:13,029 --> 00:03:16,709
why not place them there?

48
00:03:16,770 --> 00:03:21,830
Thy kingdom come,

49
00:03:21,890 --> 00:03:24,010
in dreams,

50
00:03:24,089 --> 00:03:27,230
in air.

51
00:03:27,290 --> 00:03:28,189
Dream on,

52
00:03:28,209 --> 00:03:30,369
my love,

53
00:03:30,850 --> 00:03:35,290
and dream without care.
