Lyrics
So I Dream of You
Last night I had the strangest dream
About a wild Irish dancer
And every time I tried to speak
A saxophone would answer
I tried and tried to recognize
The song that she was playing
But fell in love with the notes themselves
Instead of what they were saying
On a midnight airplane ride
Wishing you were by my side tonight
Instead of who you are
A billion planets in the sky
Move outside my window
And every one would catch my eye
But which one should I follow?
I raised my voice into the night
And said "what have I been learning?"
But all I got for my reply
Was the sound of bridges burning
So I dream of you
