Lyrics

Key of Bb  –  October, 1998

 

Telephone is ringing off the hook and I can’t crawl out of bed

Cuz my thoughts dwell on your image

As the wind blows through your hair, you don’t even know I’m there

Singing my lament, those words forever will they ring

 

——— Only in my dreams, somewhere. Only in my dreams, somewhere

Is where you’ll find you reside

 

I can see the conflict in your eyes and the words behind your teeth

Fear of change keeps you from speaking

Notions that I hide behind rule I can’t abide

You have yet to see the stronger side of me

 

REFRAIN: ————————————————————————–

 

It’s a cross between reality and some sordid kind of dream

In a book already written, and I

Can not tell the truth apart from what I really see

And if tomorrow never comes, the you’ll forever be

 

REFRAIN: ————————————————————————-

 

BRIDGE:  Each day that passes I wish I’d learn more about you

And the illusion that you give that says you’re havin’ a good time

You’re unaware, you can do anything you want to

But nothing in this crazy life is ever what it seems

 

REFRAIN: ————————————————————————-
