Did I see you down in a young girl's town
With your mother in so much pain?
I was almost there at the top of the stairs
With her screamin' in the rainDid she wake you up to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup
With the promise of a manDid I see you walking with the boys
Though it was not hand in hand?
And was some black face in a lonely place
When you could understand?Did she wake you up to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup
With the promise of a manWill I see you give more than I can take?
Will I only harvest some?
As the days fly past will we lose our grasp
Or fuse it in the sun?Did she wake you up to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup
With the promise of a manDream up, dream up, let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man
