(Lloyd/Johnson)

She closed her eyes and i kissed her,
Her lips were taking me through the night
I whispered soft i would miss her,
With the hard work dragging me down the line
Ooh and then she pulled me closer, in the dark it took me by surprise
When she told me that the road was open, i could find her there any time
Then i opened my eyes and she disappeared
And don't you think that's strange?
If one minute she's flesh and blood beside, and the next it's a dream

We don't lay claim to property and don't talk much of pain or doubt
So when she told me love was in her heart,
I'd know just what she's talking about
Ooh and the restless get their share, and the lonely always find their way
And she has a reckless innocence, she knows what's best but not today
Then i opened my eyes and she disappeared
And don't you think that's strange?
If one minute she's flesh and blood beside, and the next it's a dream

Is it just a midnight dream? i would fain prove otherwise
Is it just a midnight stream that runs so cold beneath these pitch black skies?

She said to set the sails for shore this journey's got to come to a close
And we've been standing there for some time now,
With a cold wind blowing down on our door
And though i know that she's not for real,
But i hear her footsteps down in the hall
And her voice that's telling me not to fear,
That she'll be there the moment i call
Then i opened my eyes etc...
