Yusuf Islam
Everytime I Dream
Islam
Every time I dream I keep seeing streets and alleyways, places that I've never known
Every time I dream I am being, lifted to a height that I too frightened to go
Then I wake up and find everything's away, it seems, one night ago
Every time I sleep I keep hoping this would be the night of nights that I see you again
As I close my eyes like rims and curtains slowly rising on an empty stage
Then I'm back in the stall sitting all alone waiting for the show to begin
Oooh ...
Every time I dream I would often find myself running from a wild pack of lice
'Till I reach a house and hear the gurge upstairs and look for a place to hide
But if I saw you there, I wouldn't dare dream again of opening my eyes
Mmm ...
