| Did I see you down in a young girl’s town
|
| With your mother in so much pain?
|
| I was almost there at the top of the stairs
|
| With her screamin' in the rain
|
| Did she wake you up to tell you that
|
| It was only a change of plan?
|
| Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup
|
| With the promise of a man
|
| Did I see you walking with the boys
|
| Though it was not hand in hand?
|
| And was some black face in a lonely place
|
| When you could understand?
|
| Did she wake you up to tell you that
|
| It was only a change of plan?
|
| Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup
|
| With the promise of a man
|
| Will I see you give more than I can take?
|
| Will I only harvest some?
|
| As the days fly past will we lose our grasp
|
| Or fuse it in the sun?
|
| Did she wake you up to tell you that
|
| It was only a change of plan?
|
| Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup
|
| With the promise of a man
|
| Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup
|
| With the promise of a man |
