lyrics

I.
With the wind overhead and the waves below
Music underwater with aquatic flow
There you are, in the middle of the South Sea
Carried by the riptide trying hard to break free

Back up back down everything is black now
I’ll supply the moonlight you inflate the raft now
We could be in Kansas, the comfort of a warm bed
We could be in heaven ‘fore the devil knows that we’re dead

With a light rain – or a fresh snow
On a night train – I guess I don’t know
If we go on – Or the story ends
But for now let’s begin:

We only dream in the dark
And when it’s light we get older
But life isn’t over
The world goes on whenever we’re apart

There is a light overhead
So we hold on to each other
at least ‘til the summer
Is over and we return to our beds

II.
I want the girls who dress like movie stars
In knee-length coats and knitted scarves
Stepping to the beat in the heat lamp glow
Soul songs playing on the patio

Give me the girls who aren’t afraid to kick off their shoes
Puddles on the pavement and the twelve bar blues
Heartache will break you, Heartbreak will ache you
The is not the first time–Take two.

Is it take three? Or is it take four –
After the first time We always want more.
Another good love. Another new start.
We only dream in the dark
