Dream Awhile

We woke, no morning.
Your face was dark like rain.
And I’m lonely like a circus clown
Even when you’re around.

Don’t tell me no again, baby.
Don’t whisper lies behind your smiles.
Don’t wake me if you’re going.
Just let me dream awhile.

We stood together in the shadows.
I thought your love would bring me light.
Quilted warmth like a fire.
But I’m left with my desire.

Don’t tell me no again, baby.
Don’t whisper lies behind your smiles.
Don’t wake me if you’re going.
Just let me dream awhile.

So I, so I watch your shadow on my wall.
Outside the rain still falls.
My voice like the nightbird calls.
Have you nothing to say at all?
Have you nothing to say, at all?

Don’t tell me no again, baby.
Don’t whisper lies behind your smiles.
Don’t wake me if you’re going.
No, don’t tell me no again, darling.
No, don’t whisper lies behind your smiles.
Oh, don’t wake me if you’re going.
Just let me dream awhile.
