The light in this place is really bad
Like bein' in 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 nor smiled
I've pondered my faith in the rain
I been dreamin' of you that's all i do
An' it's drivin' me insane.

Somewhere dawn is breakin'
Light is streakin' 'cross the floor
Church bells are ringin'
I wonder who they're ringin' for
Travel under any star
You'll see me wherever you are
The shadowy past is so vague and so vast
I'm sleepin' in the bpalace of pain
I been dreamin' of you that's all i do
But it's drivin' 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're never ever explained
I'm dreamin' of you that's all i do
An' 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, that's all i do
But it's driving me insane.

Everything in the way is so shiny today
A queer and unusual form
Spirals of golden haze here an' there in a blaze
Like beams of light in a storm
Maybe you're here or maybe you weren't
Maybe you touched somebody and got burnt
The silent sun has got me on the run
Burnin' a hole in my brain
I'm dreamin' of you that's all i do
But it's driving me insane. up

Dreamin' Of You2

Time Out of Mind Teatro sessions, Real Music studio, Oxnard CA - 1.oct.1996, BS17 #1  

Well, i'm walkin' through the summer nights
Jukebox playin' low
Yesterday everything was movin' too fast
Today everythin's going too slow
My cup fill up to the brim
Got all the trimmin's, nothin' to trim
Well your love is my link to the outside world
An' always it will remain
Dreamin' of you is all i do
An' it's drivin' me insane.

The light in this place is really bad
It's almost like bein' on the bottom of a stream
But the burnin' reality of your sweet face
Makes me feel like i'm expecting to wake up from a dream
The river runs strong
Like myself it's swept along
By the grave of some child who neither ever laughed or smiled
I pondered my faith in the rain
The dream of you is all i do
An' it's drivin' me insane.

Somewhere dawn is breakin' again
And the light is streakin' 'cross the floor
Church bells ringin' with every chime
I wonder who they're ringin' for
Travel under any old star
You'll see me wherever you are
Well, the shadowy past is so vague an' so vast
I'm sleepin' in the palace of pain
Dreamin' of you that's all i do
But it's drivin' me insane.

Well, maybe they'll get me an' maybe they won't
But whatever it won't be tonight
I wish your hand was in mine right now
We could go together to where the moon is white
I've squandered the years of my youth
It's a scary thing the truth
Some things last longer than you think they will
When you're like a monkey on a chain
Dreamin' of you is all I do
But it's drivin' me insane.

Well, i eat when i'm hungry an' i drink when i'm dry
An' i live my life on the square
An' even if the flesh falls off my face
It won't matter just as long as you're there
Well, i feel like a ghost in love
Underneath the heavens above
Feel further away than ever before
An' there's nothin' i kwnow how to explain
Dreamin' of you is all i do
But it's drivin' me insane.

Everything in my way is so resplendent today
It's all queer in an unusual form
Spirals of golden haze here and there
Like beams of light in a storm
Maybe you were here an' maybe you weren't
Maybe you touched something hot an' got burnt
The silent sun has got me on the run
An' it's burnin' a hole in my brain.
Dreamin' of you is all i do
But it's drivin' me insane. up
