I saw the waters standing still
And the world began to chill
Around my loneliness
I felt the air come to a stall
And I did not move at all
My world, it just got colder
Lately, it seems
That all of my dreams have come true
But why does it feel
Like nothing's for real without you?
The world seems to stop
Around my loneliness
Why has the sun refused to shine?
Maybe 'cause I drank the wine
It's bitter in its sweetness
Now, well, it looks as though the sky
Is sad and wants to cry
Raindrops filled with fire
Lately, it seems
That all of my dreams have come true
But why does it feel
Like nothing's for real without you?
The world seems to stop
Around my loneliness
Where will I go? Lord only knows
I can't tell if it's Heaven or Hell
And the world seems to stop
Around my loneliness
Now as my world begins to clear
A whisper in my ear
Takes away my sadness
Lately it seems
Though all of my dreams have come true
Yes, they have
Why does it feel
Like nothing's for real without you?
'Cos the world seems to stop
Around my loneliness
The world seems to stop
Around my loneliness
