3. John Lennon: Dream

Wed Jan 24, 2018, 07:58 AM

Jan 2018

Somebody call out my name (John)
As it started to rain
Two spirits dancing so strange
Ah! Bowakawa, pousse pousse
Ah! Bowakawa, pousse pousse
Ah! Bowakawa, pousse pousse

(When asked what the latter meant, Lennon said it meant nothing but that it came to him in a dream).
