Lyrics

Dreamed about you in an eastern storm
Dreamed about you in southern warm
And wondered if I use your face to ease my pain
Maybe I won't ever see that face again
But loving you will have to last at least 'til then

If there was a gentle neighbor boy
Or if I knew some other deeper joy
I wonder would I need to use your face for a friend
Maybe I won't ever see that face again
But loving you will have to last at least 'til then

Oh, wake up, there's much more to life
Than faces far away from my touching
Wake up! I am more than just a dream machine
That pours out sorrow
Why not step outside there girl and look around the world
I might see a face that takes the place of you
And I don't need another face to ...

Dream about in an eastern storm
Dream about in southern warm
And wonder if I use your face to ease my pain
Maybe I won't ever see that face again
But loving you will have to last at least 'til then
