Ava Gardner Lyrics by Rachel Kiel

Dream Logic

2020

[Verse]
I dreamed another body
Dreamed you as someone who'd understand me
And sometimes it was lonely
Being small and so relentless
So hopeful for the mystery
Holding rocks under my pillow
[Verse]
I dreamed another body
I was angry
I didn't know where time would take me
Maybe I would have a baby
Maybe you, I thought, might leave me
[Chorus]
All the times I lowered my defenses
Every time I stood beside another body
Casting you, I chose you for the drama
The one who'd fall in love with Ava Gardner
[Verse]
I dreamed a Russian novel
A marriage to Sinatra
Having fights that'd last forever
Singing songs about each other
'Til the whole thing sours
In the wee, small hours
[Verse]
And then I dreamed of never leaving
I never did like starting over
So when the show is done
And the lights come up
I'll meet you on the lawn
With my Old Age makeup on
[Chorus]
I lowered my defenses
Stood beside another body
Casting you, I chose you for the drama
The one who falls in love with Ava Gardner
[Verse]
Don't be sorry that you dreamed of losing
'Cause losing's gonna meet you in the morning
You can let it in the front door
Or it's comin' through the window
[Verse]
Humility surrender
I'm nothing like I dreamed of
Or maybe just a little
If I'm really being honest
[Pre-Chorus]
Some things don't fade
Some wishes never leave you
[Chorus/Outro]
I made myself defenseless
I dreamed another body
I gave myself to beauty
I'm chose for the drama
In love with Ava Gardner
In love with Ava Gardner
In love with Ava Gardner
In love with Ava Gardner
