lyrics

I used to dream of you
And then you went away
I guess I always knew
How you can never stay
So dreams lay down a while
And fitful slumber sails
Your fingers will not dial
To places where words fail

And I run but will not find a way
Back to the sun ‘cause it’s a rainy day
And lightning flies across the evening sky
And I know why our love was bound to die

I used to dream of you
And then you went away
There’s nothing I can do
There is no other way
And you don’t even feel
Like anything was lost
I prayed for you to heal
And I would bear the cost

And I let go and you fly away
You won’t know what my dreams did say
The lightning cries and static owns the air
Your shining eyes they are gone from there
