I was a lmost there at the top of the stairs with her screaming in the rain.
Did she wa ke you up to tell yo u that it was only a change of plan ?
Dream up, dream up , let me fi ll your cup with the promise of a man.
Did I see you walking w ith the boys, though it was not han d in hand ?
And wa s some black face in a lonely place whe n you could understand ?
Did she wa ke you up to tell yo u that it was only a change of plan ?
Dream up, dream up , let me fi ll your cup with the promise of a man.
Will I see you give mor e than I can take ? Will I only har vest some ?
As the days fly pa st will we lose our grasp o r fuse it in the sun ?
Did she wa ke you up to tell yo u that it was only a change of plan ?
Dream up, dream up , let me fi ll your cup with the promise of a man.
