This song could be interpreted several different ways. It could be seen as Mulder's despair over Scully's abduction. It could be seen as a corollary to The Blessing Way, when Mulder appeared to Scully. But I think what this song most signifies is Mulder's angst about his sister's abduction. (Boy, it's all about abductions, isn't it?) No, I really see this as Mulder calling out to Samantha, and his guilt over not being able to do anything that night. Poor Mulder, he's so screwed over all the time.
I had a dream that you stood right in front of me
And called to me in black and white
Though I could see you / I couldn't reach you
You faded into the light
And when the sun turns a dream to reality
I'm left with such an empty space
I feel your spirit / Know that I'm near it
I swear I can see your face
Hear me calling you / Calling you
But you just don't seem to answer anymore
Am I supposed to pretend I don't feel the pain
Like it happened only yesterday
No use in trying / To stop the crying
I can't make it go away
Hear me calling you / Calling you
But you just don't seem to answer anymore
I'm calling you / Calling you
And I'm afraid you won't answer anymore
Where is the healing you promised me
Maybe this feeling will burn in me forever
Hear me calling you / Calling you
But you just don't seem to answer anymore
I'm calling you / Calling you
And I'm afraid you won't answer anymore
Calling you and I'm afraid that you won't answer anymore
