I Still Dream

Richard Thompson

It was cruel of you to stand

At my door and take my hand

Like a drowning man I clung to my defenses

And ten years is a time

But your looks, love, it's a crime

And I never was to know

That I'd come to miss you so

But time winds down

And I turned my back long ago

But I still dream

Oh darling I still dream

I still dream

Lord know I still dream

On the killing floor I stand

With a stun-gun in my hand

Like a cowboy shooting bad men on the range

And nothing satisfies

And the soul inside me dies

As I duck each punch and never risk the change

And now you look at me

With that same old used-to-be

But time winds down

And I turned my back long ago

But I still dream

Darling I still dream

And now you look at me

With that same old used-to-be

But time winds down

And I turned my back long ago

But I still dream

Oh darling I still dream

I still dream

Lord knows I still dream

I still dream

Darling I still dream
