The light in this place is really bad It's 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 Like the grave of some child, who neither wept or smiled [I pondered my fate] in the rain
I've been dreaming of you That's all I do And it's driving me insane
Somewhere dawn is breaking Light is streaking across 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 so vague and so vast I'm sleeping in [the palace] of pain
I've been dreaming 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 dreaming 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 I can take
Dreaming of you Is all I do But it's driving me insane
Everything in the way is so shiny today In queer and unusual form Spirals of golden haze here and there in a blaze Like beams of light in a 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 dreaming of you That's all I do But it's driving me insane
