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'
