It comes around again
Now that the damage is done
Now that the footsteps you left
Have left me more wounds to heal
If I stand my ground
Will I know when to leave?
When all the bonds have been cut
The spaces are all I feel
In the quietest part of the darkest night
A far-off voice like a flickering light says
I'm only dreamin’
I'm only dreamin'
I’m only dreamin' tonight
And tomorrow's a long way back
Hey
Should I change my name?
There's no more work in this town
I've burned my bridges behind me
And sold my bus ticket home
And sometimes I fear
That these old habits die hard
I see the crowded rooms
Where the old men sleep alone
In the quietest part of the darkest night
A far-off voice like a flickering light says
I'm only dreamin'
I'm only dreamin’
I’m only dreamin' tonight
And tomorrow’s a long way back
So take me home
Back to the place I was born
Within those comforting walls
Where our colours never reach
And the tide is high
They say the world is still changin'
But I can see through your eyes
The times haven't changed so much, no, no
In the quietest part of the darkest night
A far-off voice like a flickering light says
I'm only dreamin’
I'm only dreamin'
I'm only dreamin' tonight
And tomorrow's a long way back
I'm only dreamin'
I'm only dreamin' tonight
And tomorrow's a long way back
Hey
Only dreamin'
I'm only dreamin'
