If you dream, dream out loud
You will be the only sound
I hear tonight beside the phone
Spinning satellites on loan
I will hold my head up high
You can start waving goodbye
It is beautiful like a stolen scene
For a 1940's Pop Star Queen
You're the only girl of wingless flight
A single star in a covered night
I can wipe the tear out from your eyes
We can start again, if only I
Can find the path out in the dark
Where a shadow hides a tiny spark
The love is true, as true as hate
As long as life, as strong as fate
I could be your long lost friend
If you would only tell me when
If you did, I cheated too
Maybe lied, to tell the truth
I want to die, I want to live
You can take what you wish to give
'Cause the timing's wrong, though the stage is right
Our lines get cut in the blinding lights
You're a Motown star in a forgotten town
Got a raven's wing for a golden crown
The songs that play on the radio
Have a line that you didn't know
You're a tweed coat on a cigarette
With a hand that shakes and a light that's bent
Baby I've been here before
I've seen these walls and walked this floor
We started pure, we started broke
Lived on love, fire and smoke
In a southern sky with the windows down
On an endless road we nailed the note
It's the last verse, final curse
The only words you don't rehearse
And I will sing for you if you sing for me
Yeah - I will sing for you if you sing for me ...
