Dreamer

Oh, my love, you were a constant contradiction Your heartbeat's fantasy, a hidden picture Last night, you told me you don't believe in the one Yet your eyes fill with tears as you watch the setting sun It makes me sad to think you can't see a life with me 'Cause I dreamt we'd have some land one day and plant some apple trees Oh, I know you think I'm just a dreamer And I know you think if I climb too high, I'll fall Baby, when you say I'm just a dreamer You're blowing out the candles in my heart You're blowing out the candles in my heart I know you don't wanna hurt me as much as I don't wanna hurt you But, fuck, it hurts to think of one of us with somebody new 'Cause when we're intertwined like lovers Underneath the twilight covers Time slows for a moment and our differences subside It's like angels are watching over us, well, there's nothing to say As we drift out in the water under moonlight far away Oh, I know you think I'm just a dreamer And I know you think if I climb too high, I'll fall When you laugh and say I'm just a dreamer You're blowing out the candles in my heart You're blowing out the candles in my heart The first Christmas we were in love You gave me a poetry book of so many years You wrote inside that you had caught a falling star I wondered why you felt I was falling rather than shooting For how can someone so romantic build up so many walls? Boy, if you just let me, I can show you how to ask for more Oh, I know you think I'm just a dreamer And I know you think if I reach too high, I'll fall But, baby, when you say I'm just a dreamer You're blowing out the candles in my heart Oh, you're blowing out the candles in my heart And now my eyes are full of moon, just like Joni's always were You listen to her objectively while I imagine I am her Oh, I know she was your first love And you would want her all the same If only you could see that my fire was built from her old flame Oh, I know you think I'm just a dreamer And I know you think if I climb too high, I'll fall But, baby, when you say I'm just a dreamer You're blowing out the candles in my heart You're blowing out the candles in my heart
