Greg Brown - Dream City Lyrics

I'm living in dream city
Lost in dreams of you
I'm living in dream city
Dreaming is all I do

They're gonna cut off my water
Unplug my telephone
If I don't stop my dreaming
I will be out on the street alone

I'm living in dream city
Dreaming I'm holding you near
And this is where I'll be
Until you give me a ride out of here

It's such a fine city
I'm running down the halls
It's a red wine city
I'm bumping into walls

I'm living in a palace
I go from room to room
Close my eyes and see you
I'm just chasing your perfume

I'm living in dream city
And the rent is rising fast
I'm living in dream city
I don't know how long I can last

If you had never hugged me
My feet would still touch the ground
If you had never kissed me
I'd be back in my hometown
