The Meat of the Matter

Musical Dream

In my sleep last night, I heard Johnny Cash singing a song that I've never heard before. He was singing about being at the hospital and watching the doctors help a woman that he loved. It was extremely slow, deep, and dramatic, rising one note in modulation during the two-line phrase where the woman passes away. I can't remember the song, or any of the words. All I remember was that the last line was "Then I Drove home to get no sleep." I can only assume that this was me, making up a song that Johnny might have written about June Carter's death.
