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
