[Verse 1]
On a black and white September night
When I lost my coat and missed my ride
I took the empty road alone
'Cause I'm a beggar to my own demise
And a victim of your easy lies
And I've slipped the world that was our own
[Verse 2]
Well, you said a good man's hard to find
And that wasn't me but you didn't mind
And I felt the ink begin to run
Then you pushed me down onto my knees
When the cotton moved in the summer breeze
And the words began to come undone
[Chorus]
And now you hide me
In a dream within a dream
[Verse 3]
I found an old cassettŠµ from the car we had
With a scribbled notŠµ ripped from your pad
Where you claimed it's you who'd been deceived
But now the years go by and we're still entwined
And I can't help feeling that it's by design
Though I know you never did believe
[Chorus]
And now you hide me
In a dream within a dream
[Verse 4]
Now I'm a burning field on a moonless night
Trying to right my wrongs, but I wrong my rights
And I know that things will never change
So from the moonlit pines on the county line
To the one blown letter in a neon sign
I search the corners of the frame
[Chorus/Outro]
And now you hide me
In a dream within a dream
In a dream within a dream
In a dream within a dream
In a dream within a dream
In a dream within a dream
In a dream within a dream
Dream within a dream within a
Dream within a dream within our dream
