Tell Me Your Dreams

You're standing in a cornfield, a hat in your hand The wind is whipping at the weathervane You're just a young boy in a big, wide world The days seem to last forever I pull up on the tractor, an old John Deere You smile and offer up some water The clouds are rolling, the corn is growing The kids are playing by the chicken shed Then you wake up, you're in our apartment Down on the Lower East Side You tell me what you dreamed about It keeps me up all night You tell me your dreams, I give you my heart You're flying down a staircase, a cat in your arms A man is crouching by the living room There's blood in his eyes and no place to hide Just you and him You float above it, just out of his reach He smiles and looks just like your brother The cat is purring, the carpet's burning And the walls close in And then you wake up, you're in our apartment Down on the Lower East Side You tell me what you dreamed about It keeps me up all night You tell me your dreams, I give you my heart Then I wake up, I'm in my apartment Down on the Lower East Side You call me on the telephone And keep me up all night You tell me your dreams, I give you my heart
