Lyrics From Dreams
Now, here you go again You say you want your freedom Well, who am I to
keep you down
It's only right that you should Play the way you feel it But listen
carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness like A heartbeat drives you mad In the stillness of
remembering
What you had and what you lost And what you had and what you lost Thunder only happens When it's raining Players only love you When
they're playing
Say, women They will come and they will go When the rain washes you
clean You'll know, you'll know
Now, here I go again I see the crystal visions I keep my visions to
myself It's only me who wants to Wrap around your dreams And have you
any dreams You'd like to sell
Dreams of loneliness like A heartbeat drives you mad In the stillness
of remembering
What you had and what you lost What you had, ooh, what you lost Thunder only happens When it's raining Players only love you When
they're playing
Women, they will come And they will go When the rain washes you clean
You'll know
Oh, thunder only happens When it's raining Players only love you
When they're playing
Say, women They will come and they will go When the rain washes you
clean You'll know, you'll know You will know, oh oh oh You'll know
