I Thought I Was Dreaming

Steve Earle


CHORUS: 
I thought I was dreaming 
The moon was hangin' in a clear blue sky 
You were standin' there screaming 
And I didn't have a clue as to why 
I thought I was dreaming 
Cause all I heard you say was goodbye 
I thought I was dreaming 

I would make up reasons 
You were not at home 
Your history of demons 
Callin' on the phone 
I check the locks each night 
I check 'em once again 
To keep the cold, cruel world outside 
And keep you safe within' 

REPEAT CHORUS 

No one has to know 
No one has to see 
All your childhood secrets 
Are safe right here with me 
Let me soothe your fever 
Let me bring you peace 
Let me take you away from all these 
Masters of Deceit 

BRIDGE: 
So far, so far away we'll go 
So far, so far away and where we'll stop nobody knows 

REPEAT CHORUS 

I thought I was dreamin' 
I thought I was dreamin' 
I thought I was dreamin' 
All I heard you say was good-bye
