Story Behind The Song
an open letter to a old friend that might be dead now because of drugs.
This is the story of a strong friendship between a straight guy (a pure non smoking college Beatles fan) and some kind of underground fallen angel taking drugs and listening to dark artists such as Lou Reed, Tuxedo moon, and Sex Pistols.
The straight guy says he kept every piece of light from this dark friend and he proposes to give it back now if needed. It's a sad story but with a kind of hope : "if your brain is filled with clouds and darkness i'll dream for you".

Lyrics
Hello my old friend ( Jee WY / Jee WY)
Hello my old friend I wrote this song for you
I?m sure you?re living
But I still can remember you
Always daydreaming
Watching burning tails of crocodiles
Snaking on your wall
Barely trying to catch up with some eyes
And if your brain is filled with clouds and darkness
I?ll dream for you
In your fallen angel?s world I know
I was a stranger
But I have some pretender skill you know
I am a thief
And all the pieces of lights you broke
My heart was keeping
If you want it back I?ve got it all
And if your brain is filled with clouds and darkness
I?ll dream for you
If your brain is filled with clouds and darkness
I?ll dream for you
