Elvis Costello - I Dreamed Of My Old Lover Lyrics

Font:

Align:

I dreamed of my old lover last night

I wonder if I spoke out loud

If by chance my husband overheard

He'd put my face back in the crowd

His eyes were clear and gentle then

He'd kiss the worries from my brow

I long to fall to sleep again

And I wonder how he would look now

Would our kids grow stubborn or grow strong

Would their limbs bronze insult to the sun

I wonder how it feels but then

I rarely dream of anyone

In the songs of shame and tales of dread

Where they seal the lovers lips with lead

And all the vines wind through their eyes

But no one knows this passion now

But No one knows this passion now

So I keep this fancy to myself

I keep my lipstick twisted tight

I long to fall to sleep again

'Cos I dreamed of my old lover last night
