dreamin' of you

the light in this place is really bad

like being at the bottom of a stream

any minute now

i'm expecting to wake up from a dream

means so much

the softest touch

by the grave of some child

who neither wept or smiled

i pondered my faith in the rain

i've been dreamin' of you

that's all i do

and it's driving me insane

somewhere dawn is breaking

light is streaking 'cross the floor

church bells are ringing

i wonder who they're ringing for

travel under any star

you'll see me wherever you are

the shadowy past is awake and so vast

i'm sleeping in the palace of pain

i've been dreamin' of you

that's all i do

but it's driving me insane

maybe they'll get me

maybe they won't

but whatever it won't be tonight

i wish your hand was in mine right now

we could go where the moon is white

for years they had me locked in a cage

then they threw me onto the stage

some things just last longer than you thought they would

and they never

ever explain

i've been dreamin' of you

that's all i do

and it's driving me insane

well

i eat when i'm hungry

drink when i'm dry

live my life on the square

even if the flesh falls off my face

it won't matter

long as you're there

feel like a ghost in love

underneath the heavens above

feel further away than i ever did before

feel further than i can take

dreamin' of you is all i do

but it's driving me insane

everything in the way is so shiny today

a queer and unusual fall

spirals of golden haze

here and there in a blaze

like beams of light in the storm

maybe you were here and maybe you weren't

maybe you touched somebody and got burnt

the silent sun has got me on the run

burning a hole in my brain

i'm dreamin' of you

that's all i do

but it's driving me insane
