Dreamin' - Escape

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

If I close my eyes I see your face and I'm not without you

If I trying hard and concentrate I can still hear you speak

I picture myself in your room by the chair

you're smoking a cigarette

If I close my eyes I can see your face you're saying, "I missed you"

Dreamin' - I'm always dreamin'

If I close my eyes I can smell your perfume you look and say "Hi baby"

If I close my eyes pictures from China still hang from the wall

I hear the dog bark I turned and say, "what were you saying?"

I pictured you in the red chair inside the pale room

You sat in your chair with a tube in your arm - you were so skinny

You were still making jokes I don't know what drugs they had you on

You said, " I guess this is not the time for long term investments"

You were always laughing but you never laughing at me

They say in the end the pain was so bad that you were screaming

Now you were no saint but you deserved better than that

From the corner I watch them moving things from your apartment

But I can picture you red chair and pale room inside my head

If I close my eyes I see your face and I'm not without you

If I try hard and concentrate I can gear your voice saying,

"Who better than you"

If I close my eyes I can't believe that I'm here without you

Inside your pale room your empty red chair and my head

Dreamin' , I'm always dreamin'
