If Only

I don't remember most of this dream, but I have the highlights.

My mother was dying of a debilitating disease. We knew she didn't have long, and so she was helping us make funeral arrangements ahead of time.

I decided I was going to play flute at her funeral and asked her what piece she'd like me to perform. She told me that she wanted me to play the song "If Only" from "Holes." It goes like this:

If only, if only, the woodpecker sighs,
the bark on this tree were as soft as the skies.
While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely,
howling to the moon, if only, if only.

I vowed to her that I would somehow find out the tune of the song and transcribe it for flute. It was very strange.
