lyrics

it's a sunny day
and even though the wind doesn't feel like it's blowing your way
I call out your name
I dreamt I had a daughter, and we took good care of her.

there's a pullout page
in the sunday paper magazine bout the st. patrick's parade
it's a different age
than even just a couple years ago
that's the way it goes
you're hunting for a change.

oh, the mother wrapped her tight in a blanket
father Tom was his way from Philadelphia
and the feel, the congregation was restless
the feel, the feel
was really quite spectacular.

my brother's on his way
easter sunday bunny basket, all the kids go crazy charades
he's got a new baby
I can't help but wonder why I dreamt I had a daughter.

inner peace
the more I know, I know the less I'll ever know
that's the way it be
I'm not just OK with it,
I thank God everyday for it.

oh, the mother wrapped her tight in a blanket
father Tom brought something special back from Haiti
she sighed and looked for cracks in the window
the feel, the feel
was a little bit scary.

she'll make friends with someone good
now and then she'll think of me
just pretend I'm not afraid.

when I'm 43
I hope I'll still behave on some days like I was 17
I remember dreams
like they were chapters in a story
that made its way to my silver screen.

oh, the mother wrapped her tight in a blanket
father Tom addressed the funny politicians
she sighed and held the phone with her shoulder
oh, the feel.
the feeling first thing in the morning
the cobwebs, the collage of your dreams
wrap em tight in your favorite blanket
it's the feel, the feel
you'll never forget her.
