Dream Shepherd

Walt Sample

Shifting shifting shifting grains of desert sand

Cover my yesterdays

I wander aimlessly across my mind’s land

Chasing after bugbear strays 

Oh I’m searching for my dream shepherd 

I’m lost I’m untethered 

Oh I’m searching for my dream shepherd 

Chasing chasing chasing fading tinsel flashbacks

Reflections dissolving 

Haunting like the brass bugle’s notes of taps

Grave stone phantoms calling crying

Oh I’m searching for my dream shepherd 

I’m lost I’m untethered 

Oh I’m searching for my dream shepherd 

Digging digging digging deeper to the grave

Of my flaming soul

I’m leading the mirage parade

Around the edges of the smoky hole

Oh I’m searching for my dream shepherd 

I’m lost I’m untethered 

Oh I’m searching for my dream shepherd
