The Tragically Hip Last Night I Dreamed You Didn't Love Me Lyrics

You kissed my fingers and made me love you

Last night when we went to hell
When the blood-stained 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
