Last Dream of You

Last Dream of You is a song that will forever hold a special place in my heart.
This song came about one night as I drove alone, with nothing but the hum of the road and the flicker of headlights cutting through the dark. It made me reflect on the weight of losing someone and the haunting idea of having to say goodbye. Road trips are usually full of excitement, laughter, and the promise of new memories. But when you’re faced with the reality of loss, that final journey takes on a different meaning, one of quiet reflection and love, but also the finality of time running out.

The song captures that fleeting moment when you’re trying to hold onto something that’s slipping away. It’s not about closure, but about the emotional weight of that last drive with someone you can’t bear to let go of. That space between saying goodbye and letting go, where everything you wish you could say is left unsaid. It’s raw, it’s emotional, and it’s a little dark — but it’s real.

Though this song has morphed into something new in a track called “Last Drive”, “Last Dream of You” will always be the first version, the one that holds so much meaning for me. It may have started as a single moment in time, but it turned into something much bigger, a reflection of love, loss, and the delicate balance between holding on and letting go.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share this moment with you. I hope it resonates with you, wherever you may be in your own journey. Because in the end, it’s all about those final dreams, the ones we keep, the ones we let go, and the ones we carry with us forever.

We took the back roads,
As the day was fading,
Not knowing where we’re going,
It didn’t matter anyway.

The daylight battles bravely,
But it flickers then fades,
Spilling into each crevice,
Then slips silently away.

The headlights keeping watch,
Tell their stories to the night,
Cutting tunnels through the darkness,
As we drive this road tonight.

Silhouettes in the distance,
Spring to life as they draw near,
Dancing once just for us,
Before they disappear.

This is to be our last road,
You’re leaving me tonight,
But I’m not ready for goodbye,
Please stay just one more night.

Our soundtrack is playing,
You’re wrapped up safe and warm,
I look for one last perfect smile,
As your favourite song comes on.

One hand on the wheel,
The other clinging onto you,
But I can feel you leaving me,
And there’s nothing I can do.

I try to hold you tighter,
But you start to drift away,
We are all out of forevers,
But there’s still much more to say.

Welling eyes blur the white lines,
I’m lost, I’m cold, I’m numb,
The guideposts lost in the haze,
And our journey is almost done.

Seconds stretched to hours,
As I relive this life,
Perfectly edited stories,
For my beautiful wife.

Thank you for your last moments,
Thank you for these memories,
Our time cut short,
But it was everything to me.

We’ve said our last goodbye,
You’ve gone and I have too,
I can finally close my eyes,
One last dream of you.

We’ve said our last goodbye,
You’ve gone and I have too,
I can finally close my eyes,
One last dream of you.

Last dream of you.
