Lyrics

The time has come for dreaming
Don't be tired, but I feel a need to sleep
Cause my life takes on you meaning
When I close my eyes and you reveal yourself to me
That's our time, time for changes
A time for reason
Something only you can see
All my life I have waited
For a chance to give a love
Only you demand of me

Fame and success are poor relations
The more I get the less I need it
Happiness is an unknown sensation
My heart has a hunger and only you can feed it

Chorus

Come on in my dreams tonight
Show me where to start
Come on I need to shed some light
I want to sleep on my heart

In the past for protection
When someone got too close
Yet another bridge would burn
But I can find no connection
Between the love that you propose and the lessons I have learned

I want to hear your explanations
You'll never know how much I need it
I want my tears to pay your reflexion
Cause my heart has a hunger and only you can feed it

Chorus

I'm sitting here surrounded my possessions
Objects that confront me night and day
The fruits of my material obsession
But it seems the more I earn the more I have to pay

You've made it clear that blind ambition
Leads nowhere and I don't need it
I've lost all my fear
All my inhibitions my heart has hunger but I know you can feed it...
