suzanne vega - the marching dream كلمات الأغنية

i have dreamed that many men
have marched across this field
i have wished that i could take each man
and hold him against the flame in my heart

i had a dream that my face was old
and all the children came to see
first they laughed and then they ran
and i slammed the door behind them

and as the tears began to rise
you climbed the stairs
you came into my room
where i was waiting there

now i have dreamed of all men’s arms
but this time it was you
i drew the curtains and it was dim
and it was strange and it was new

i have wished that i could hear
each secret told
by lovers in the battle
with each shade of red and gold

i have wished that i could take each man
and hold him to the flame
and read the secret writing there
and know each one by name

i have dreamed that many men
have marched across this field
i have wished that i could pour
my life into each one
listening
listening
listening

(may 1980)
