Dream City - Greg Brown

I’m living in dream city

Lost in dreams of you

I’m living in dream city

Dreaming is all i do

They’re gonna cut off my water

Unplug my telephone

If i don’t stop my dreaming

I will be out on the street alone

I’m living in dream city

Dreaming i’m holding you near

& this is where i’ll be

Until you give me

A ride out of here

It’s such a fine city

I’m running down the halls

It’s a red wine city

I’m bumping into walls

I’m living in a palace

I go from room to room

Close my eyes & see you

I’m just chasing your perfume

I’m living in dream city

& the rent is rising fast

I’m living in dream city

I don’t know how long i can last

If you had never hugged me

My feet would still touch the ground

If you had never kissed me

I’d be back in my hometown
