I'm Only Dreaming

It comes around again
Now that the damage is done
Now that the footsteps you left
Have left me more wounds to heal

If I stand my ground
Will I know when to leave
When all the bonds have been cut
The spaces are all I feel

In the quietest part of the darkest might
A far off voice like a flickering light says
I'm only dreaming
I'm only dreaming
I'm only dreaming tonight and
Tomorrow's a long way back

Should I change my name
There's no more work in this town
I've burned my bridges behind me
And sold my bus ticket home

And sometimes I fear
That these old habits die hard
I see the crowded rooms
Where the old men sleep alone

In the quietest part of the darkest might
A far off voice like a flickering light says
I'm only dreaming
I'm only dreaming
I'm only dreaming tonight and
Tomorrow's a long way back

So take me home
Back to the place I was born
Within those comforting walls
Where our colours never reach

And the tide is high
They say the world is still changing
But I can see through your eyes
The times haven't changed so much, no, no
