Never Had This Dream Before /Run Back
[Intro]
No, no, baby
No, no

[Verse 1]
In my time
I been a poet
An angel of mercy
That you won't forget
I was a boatman
People came to see
But in all my travels, baby
No one’s been what you've been to me

[Chorus]
'Cause I’ve never had this dream before
Never had this dream before
Never had this dream before
No, no, babe
Never had this dream before
No, no

[Verse 2]
I was down
A heavy loser
Walking in circles
Looking for a Shangri-La
But when I met you
My soul began to breathe
You gave me my direction
I'll go anywhere you lead
[Chorus]
'Cause I've never had this dream before
Never had this dream before
Never had this dream before
No, no, baby
Never had this dream before
No, no

[Bridge]
Close your eyes and go to sleep, yeah
Me and you, we're just a pile of sheep
Oh, oh-hoah-hoah-hoah
Oh, ha-ha-hoah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hoah-hoah

[Chorus]
Never had this dream before
No, no, baby
Never had this dream before
Never had this dream before
Say it again
Never had this dream before
No, no, baby

[Outro]
Never had this dream before
Never had this dream before
I never had a dream
Oh no, baby
No, no, baby
One more time
Looking out on the world, all I see
Shadows of the girl who meant so much to me
How I tried, to turn my back on that woman
Hey! Hey!

Run back
I'm missing you baby
I'm sad
You really did hurt me
Run back
Make it up baby while we still got time

Every night I lie awake, I'm on the phone
Forget the fight, wrong or right, I want you home
In my dreams all I see is that woman
Hey! Hey!

Run back
I’m missing you baby
I’m sad
But it really did hurt me
Run back
And make it up baby, while we still got time
I'm talkin’!

Run back
Here I'm waiting
I'm sad
But I can't wait forever
Don’t try
To take me for granted
Come and change your mind
While we still got time
Run back
I'm missing you baby
I'm sad
You really did hurt me
Run back
And make it up baby while we still got time

Run back
Here I am waiting
I'm sad
But I can't wait forever
Don't try
And take me for granted
Come and change your mind

Run back
I'm missing you baby
I'm sad
You really did hurt me
Run back...
