They say that in a dream brew
Each character's a piece of you
Outside a room, an acting class
A man I know not, exits fast
Regretful he, I urge back in
And now I'm also there with him
And in there too, you can't guess who
Old friend, Julie Abbruscato
High School friend of mine, you see
But strange does not remember me
We jammed a cuban clave round
Upon St. Nicholas' steps uptown
Of Castle on the Hill
The rhythm she enjoys it still
Yet can't remember it before
Don't understand, but try some more
'till someone else to talk to her
I didn't know that friends they were
"Veronica," I interrupt
Unknowing stare. Her too? this sucks
I knew you even long before!
In Jr High School knew you more
I remember how at only 10
You hated New York City then,
"Uh huh," she says explaining change,
But still she fails to make exchange
And all the while child and wife
Of this my current waking life
While I am in a dream state failing
Stand behind them for me waiting
I'll introduce just soon as they
Would turn their memory my way
I'll tell them who I am that's all
But during just a moments stall
Together walk away somewhere
Remember not and nor do care
A dream must be the truth I'm sure
A childhood past is mine no more
