i still dream
It was cruel of you to stand at my door and take my hand Like a drowning man I clung to my defenses And ten years is a time but your looks, love, it's a crime And I lost my tongue in the tangle of my senses And I never was to know that I'd come to miss you so But time winds down and I turned my back long ago But I still dream, oh darling I still dream Oh I still dream, oh Lord knows I still dream On the killing floor I stand with a stun gun in my hand Like a cowboy shooting badmen on the range And nothing satisfies and the soul inside me dies As I duck each punch and never risk the change And now you look at me with that same old used-to-be Oh but time winds down and I turned my back long ago But I still dream, oh darling I still dream Ah but now you look at me with that same old used-to-be But time winds down and I turned my back long ago But I still dream, oh darling, darling I still dream I still dream, oh Lord knows, Lord knows I still dream Oh I still dream, oh darling, darling, darling I still dream
