Only Dreaming Lyrics

The night is white
No moon is shining on the buildings
and the canyons and the cars are empty
and a single star is singing
to an empty sky
When did everything become
a shape without a name?
She says "I'll close your eyes
You're only dreaming"
And on the corner of the block
there is a shelter
made of plexiglas and light
A girl is rolling
in the summer sand
She is a perfect girl
the best of girls

The girl behind the Caribbean sea
The snow begins, you're only dreaming.
Empty buses, empty people
What will become of us?
The shades are drawn
behind the windows
hung like pictures frames
The paintings were all sold
These hands are cold and white
beneath the light above the mailbox
Stairway into darkness says:
"She's waiting in the hall"
She never left, you're only dreaming
She's gone, you're only dreaming.
