No Dream lyrics

Song information

Lyrics

An empty chair
Is someone sitting there?
Footsteps on the ground
Can you hear that sound?
Like a wild goose crying
On a lonely wind
Whispering leaves
In the branches that bend

[ chorus 1 ]

This ain't no dream, babe
Alone in the night
Turn on the light, this ain't no dream
This is no dream
You didn't read this is no book
Go take a look, this ain't no dream

A restless flame
Someone calls your name
Through the empty hall
Casting shadows on the wall
In the sound of emptiness
Isolation
Nowhere left to run
Now the time has come

[ repeat chorus 1 ]

An open door
Glass all on the floor
Hands have turned to white
In the cold breeze of the night
There's a face at the window
Someone who you know
Or who you used to be
Could that somebody be me?

[ chorus 2 ]

Dream, babe
Alone in the night
Turn on the light, this ain't no dream
This is no dream
This ain't no book
Go take a look, this ain't no dream

[ repeat chorus 2 ]

[ repeat chorus 2 ]

Dream, babe
Dream, babe
This ain't no dream
Go take a look!
Dream, babe
Dream, babe

[ repeat chorus 2 ]
