Forgiveness Lyrics

i had a dream last night / first one in a long, long time
a dead end street with a traffic light / and she was there
the sky was green, the grass was gold
the sun gleamed and the thunder rolled
she spoke to me with a measured tone
it might've been something that I read
just before I went to bed
but of all the things she could have said...
forgiveness / forgiveness / forgive
not sure what she meant / i asked her for a hint
she just smiled and shook her head
it will not change the past, but it could last and last
and the future could be so vast
forgiveness, forgiveness, forgive

or I could blame the darkness for the dead of the night
and hold on to sadness, or I could bring in the light

staring at the ceiling tiles / here in the morning light
I wonder...
