My sheets were cold tonight, had to leave them for a dying fire, burn up time for dreams
Lovely soul, you've gone to sleep, silence empty house I cannot breathe, you've said too many nice things

Can I keep spinning to your turns
Can I just fall back in your open arms
And when you ask, I'll always sing you a song
'Bout a girl who tried to live inside a dream…

Looking up at the ceiling they listened and there wasn't time to catch the feet kicked out from under me
Then I caught your eyes, please can I keep them with me for a future time, they'll help me when I try to fly

Can I keep spinning to your turns
Can I just fall back in your open arms
And when you ask, I'll always sing you a song
'Bout a girl who tried to live inside a dream…

Give me a book to read, talk me your mind and let me see what's crashing round inside of you
Fire hasn't gone out yet, so can we climb the fire escape, we'll see just as far as we want to get

Can I keep spinning to your turns
Can I just fall back in your open arms
And when you ask, I'll always sing you a song
'Bout a girl who tried to live inside a dream…
