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
