Michelangelo Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

Last night I dreamed about you 

I dreamed that you were older 

You were looking like Picasso 

With a scar across your shoulder 

You were kneeling by the river 

You were digging up the bodies 

Buried long ago 

Michelangelo. 

Last night I dreamed about you 

I dreamed you were a pilgrim 

On a highway out alone to find 

The mother of your children 

Who were still unborn and waiting 

In the wings of some desire 

Abandoned long ago 

Michelangelo.

Were you there at Armageddon 

Was Paris really burning 

Could I have been the one to pull you 

From the point of no returning 

And did I hear you calling out my name 

Or was it forgotten long ago 

Michelangelo. 

Last night I dreamed about you 

I dreamed that you were riding 

On a blood red painted pony 

Up where the heavens were dividing 

And the angels turned to ashes 

You came tumbling with them to earth 

So Far below 

Michelangelo.

Last night I dreamed about you 

I dreamed that you were dying 

In a field of thorn and roses 

With a hawk about you crying 

For the warrior slain in battle 

From an arrow driven deep inside you 

Long ago 

Michelangelo. 

Did you suffer at the end 

Would there be no one to remember 

Did you banish all the old ghosts 

With the terms of surrender 

And could you hear me calling out your name 

Well, I guess that I will never know 

Michelangelo. 

Last night I dreamed about you 

I dreamed that you were weeping 

And your tears poured down like diamonds 

For a love beyond all keeping 

And you caught them one by one 

In a million silk bandanas that I gave you long ago 

Michelangelo...
