I Can Only Dream
With your railway soul
The only girl I know
I have to dream a love affair
Like a vacant mess
That always hurts my flesh
I have to dream a love affair
Dream, I can only dream
When you’re not there
I’m doing time
For an emotional crime
I have to dream a love affair
She’s the sweetest girl
In a changing world
I have to dream a love affair
Dream, I can only dream
When you’re not there
With the money you need
And the clothes you wear
I have to dream a love affair
