AROUND A DREAM Oct. 17/84 Karl Rigelhof

It slipped my mind
I lost my train of thought
It's hard to find
It happens more often than not
I forgot

My mind it slipped
Another great idea is lost
My tongue it tripped
I'll find it no matter what the cost

I lost my grip
On the situation at hand
I let it slip
Until it was out of reach

My grip is loose
My hands couldn't hold on tight
What's the use
Now that it is gone into the night

I lost my grasp
I rake my brain in agony
I found it at last
I must retain it in memory

My grasp is slack
It's growing numb from/with the strain
I must get it back
The effort is driving me insane

CHORUS:
It's elusive
It was there for one fleeting moment
It's all inclusive
Mixed with elements of every component
To build the future
Around/from the past
Around a dream
