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: ————————————————————————-
FIN
