Lyrics

I know we're supposed to dream
To struggle while we sleep
With thoughts and feelings
We don't understand
& I know we're supposed to cry
To feel the pain within
& try to begin
To tell it good-bye.

But I don't dream
And I don't cry
I used to do both
Before the price got too high
But now the whole thing
Is just way too steep
And instead of a dream
I'd rather have a good night's sleep.

But if I could dream
I would dream of you.
If I could cry
I would cry for 100 years
A hundred million tears
And my tears would flow
And run to the sea
And the world would know
Why salt-water is what it is
For long ago God cried
And Noah
Floated in his ark
While ev'rybody else
Drowned in the dark
And I don't know
If the story is true
But if I could dream
I know I'd dream of you.
