about

The music was improvised on the spot during my sixth "Live From Home" concert on March 29, 2020, using words I'd previously written nine years earlier.

lyrics

Meeting you was legendary
The way it came to be
This woman I was ogling
Hopped in my car with me
We spent two days together
But then it had to end
And now all I have to show
Is a picture of my imaginary friend
I told everyone about you
And no one believed you were real
They told me you were imaginary
Along with how I feel

I must have dreamed that Groupon
That we used on Thai and beer
I dreamed I texted 5170
To see if you'd come near
I must have dreamed your cowboy boots
And your brand new iPhone 4
I also dreamed that rejection
At the passenger side door
I must have dreamed your silken
Dark chocolate sexy hair
I dreamed a scar above your lips
None of it's really there

But maybe someday soon
We will add to all this thought
Another stanza in this verse
When I dream you in another spot
Until then, I'll understand
Why my dream came to an end
And I'll cherish this photograph
Of my imaginary friend
