I Dream About You

(from the CDs Nails and Crosses and An Angel Somewhere)

A man goes round in circles
And steps across the line
Gambles until there's nothing left to lose
Stumbles round the block
One too many times
Choosing until there's nothing left to choose.

When I get sad when I get blue
When I don't know what to say
And I don't know what to do
I get drunk and I dream about you.

A lot of my friends got married
A lot of my friends they died
They turned their backs on life
And fell to the other side
I'm still on the edge
Trying to save my soul
Living all alone on the lower east side
Watching the good times roll.

I was standing there
Without a plan without a tear
With nothing left to even try to do
I never thought I'd be around
To get a second chance
But I got a few when I ran into you.

When I get sad, when I get blue
When I don't know what to say
And I don't know what to do
I get drunk and I dream about you.
