Dreamin' (Escape)

[Verse 1] If I close my eyes I see your face and I'm not without you If I try hard and concentrate, I can still hear you speak I picture myself in your room by the chair, you're smoking a cigarette If I close my eyes I can see your face, you're saying "I missed you" Dreamin', I'm always dreamin' [Verse 2] If I close my eyes I can smell your perfume, you look and say "Hi, babe" If I close my eyes, pictures from China still hang from the wall I hear the dog bark, I turn and say, "What were you saying?" I picture you in the red chair inside the pale room Dreamin', I'm always dreamin' [Verse 3] You sat in your chair with a tube in your arm, you were so skinny You were still making jokes, I don't know what drugs they had you on You said, "I guess this is not the time for long term investments" You were always laughing but you never laughed at me [Verse 4] They say in the end the pain was so bad that you were screaming Now you were no saint but you deserved better than that From the corner I watch them removing things from your apartment But I can picture your red chair and pale room inside my head [Verse 5] If I close my eyes I see your face and I'm not without you If I try hard and concentrate, I can hear your voice saying, "Who better than you?" If I close my eyes, I can't believe that I'm here without you Inside your pale room, your empty red chair and my head Dreamin', I'm always dreamin' Dreamin', I'm always dreamin' Dreamin', I'm always dreamin'
