"Faust"

I was not myself last night couldn't set things right with apologies or flowers

Out of place as a cryin' clown who could only frown and the play went on for hours

And as I lived my role I swore I'd sell my soul for one love

Who would stand by me and give me back the gift of laughter

One love who would stand by me and after making love we'd

Dream a bit of style

We'd dream a bunch of friends

Dream each others smile

And dream it never ends

I was not myself last night in the morning light I could see the change was showing

Like a child who was always poor reaching out for more I could feel the hunger growing

And as I lost control I swore I'd sell my soul for one love

Who would sing my song and fill this emptiness inside me

One love who would sing my song and lay beside me while we'd

Dream a bit of style

We'd dream a bunch of friends

Dream each others smile

And dream it never ends

All my dreams are lost and I can't sleep

And sleep alone could ease my mind

All my tears have dried and I can't weep

Old emotions may they rest in peace and dream, dream a bunch of friends

Rest in peace, and dream, dream it never ends
