Tragically Hip - Last Night I Dreamed You Didn't Love Me lyrics

you kissed my fingers and made me love you

Last night when we went to hell

When the blood-starred curtain fell

Men were turning on their machines, making everything mean

Fires burned, cold values clashed

Good and evil were all dry grass

No child-ghost, no singing bird, no last laugh, no last word

oh

Last night I dreamed, last night I dreamed darkly nurtured dreams

None of them were quite as frightening

oh

Canada emptied, there was me, featureless and freezing

Last night I dreamed you didn’t love me

you kissed my fingers and made me love you

Last night you left me derelict

and disappeared for ages

You just said ‘honey save those tears of yours for the show,

oh

Last night I dreamed, last night I dreamed darkly nurtured dreams

none of them were half as frightening

oh

Canada emptied there was me, beside you, featureless and freezing

Last night I dreamed you didn’t love me.

You didn’t love me.

What’s happening to you?

Why don’t you love me like you used to?

When you kissed my fingers and you made me love you

When you kissed my fingers and you made me love you

Last night I dreamed, last night I dreamed darkly nurtured dreams

None of them, none as frightening,

oh

Awake empty and out of sleep, you were beside me gently breathing

Last night I dreamed you didn’t love me

You didn’t love me

You didn’t love me

Why don’t you love me like you used to?

When you kissed my fingers and you made me love you

When you kissed my fingers and you made me love you
