Dream Out Loud

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 ...
