Oh, where did you go

Are you beneath the bed

Or in the pillow

Where are you strange fellow

Lost to eternity

How did you ever enter me

Where are you now

I miss you

Though we never fully met

I have forgotten you now

Somewhere between distraction, and the cow jumping the moon

Lost over misty mountain

Lost to the dripping fountain of my mind

You were here last night

But as I awoke in the morning

Your traces I could not find

My missing thought

Oh, why is it you I forgot

To wrestle you down

To pluck you from the sky

Now I’m left to wonder

Were you ever mine
