I Dream I Saw Your Face Last Night
Dan Hill · Other Songs - Dan Hill
As I gaze into the sky
There's a shooting star that's falling
As it dwindles into floating dust
My name I hear it calling
Oh God I'd love to be free
But there's something wrong, you see
I can't make it
Just with me
I'm lonely...
Well I dreamt I saw your face last night
Just an image in the long
While falling through space I felt
Just you and me
And god
I just don't know if I can believe in you
The dreamer deep inside me
Surely wants me to
If only dreams come true
At times I get this feeling
That there's more to my life then greets my eyes
Just a crazy kind of feeling
Then I take a look around
This world's falling down
Only a clown could believe ...believe
Well everyone's had hopes I guess
On how the world should be
Everyone's had dreams that just elude reality
Oh and God your name's been used
For politics for power
God your name's been used
For all the love that towers
But has yet to fall - upon us all
Well I dreamt I saw your face last night...
There's a shooting star that's falling
As it dwindles into floating dust
My name I hear it calling
Oh God I'd love to be free
But there's something wrong, you see
I can't make it
Just with me
I'm lonely...
Well I dreamt I saw your face last night
Just an image in the long
While falling through space I felt
Just you and me
And god
I just don't know if I can believe in you
The dreamer deep inside me
Surely wants me to
If only dreams come true
At times I get this feeling
That there's more to my life then greets my eyes
Just a crazy kind of feeling
Then I take a look around
This world's falling down
Only a clown could believe ...believe
Well everyone's had hopes I guess
On how the world should be
Everyone's had dreams that just elude reality
Oh and God your name's been used
For politics for power
God your name's been used
For all the love that towers
But has yet to fall - upon us all
Well I dreamt I saw your face last night...
