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
