Elvis Costello
When Did I Stop Dreaming?
[Intro]
You appeared when I was lost in reverie
If this is not a dream, it's my mistake
And now I lie in wait for dawn to break
I'm fairly sure I'm wide awake

[Verse 1]
Pardon me, if I seem distant and strange
Just tell me when did I stop dreaming?
Let me get this straight, did I hallucinate?
This fine and helpless feeling
Tell me when did I stop dreaming?

[Verse 2]
Let me know if you can help me explain
I didn't recognize the danger
But people will talk,was I just sleepwalking?
Footprints left on the ceiling
Tell me when did I stop dreaming?

[Bridge]
Then why should you care?
This was my nightmare
Was that one dream too deep?
Now if I could only sleep
[Verse 3]
Answer me, if you see the end in sight
I'm just a soul who's lost in limbo
Neither bad or good, I'd spare you now if I could
One more teardrop then I'll wake up
Tell me when did I stop dreaming?
