Waiting

The Cure · Join The Dots (B-Sides & Rarities 1978-2001) [2004]

Tonight I'll dream a girl called home

And wake up in tears

All on my own

With the sun coming up



And my head against stone

Balcony dressed and drawn

Tonight I'll Dream a room so far away

Frost pale blue



The color of a perfect day

And then screw up my face

In the mirror

As I wait for the others to call



But if I don't believe in magic

And I don't believe in blood

And I don't believe in miracles

And I don't believe in love



Then how come I believe so soon

In a cherry tree girl

And a dust blue room?



Tonight I'll dream an hour so long

Shadow soft smiles

And everyone loves me

To open my eyes



In a drag myself face undone

Hard back into the world

Tonight I'll dream a dream I dream

Without even trying I'm flying I scream



As I practice the move

I spit at my pillow stained face

And the others all come



But if I don't believe in magic

And I don't believe in blood

And I don't believe in miracles

And I don't believe in love



Then how come I believe it seems

In a girl called home

And a world called dreams?
