Lyrics The Jayhawks

The Jayhawks

(in My) Wildest Dreams

When you had a brief encounter with your fortune and your fame

Well, I stood beside and watched the fans that followed

Well, I saw you from a distance and I heard them call your name

But you winked at me as if to say, "I'm sorry"

Yeah, you winked at me as if to say, "I'm sorry"

In my wildest dreams, in my wildest dreams

Now, the more I get to know you, the less that I admire

I fade as the unholy light surrounds you

Well, I'm mystified you got so high, you had so far to fall

What you don't own you beg, you steal, you borrow

What you don't own you beg, you steal, you borrow

In my wildest dreams, in my wildest dreams

In my wildest dreams

I never felt this close to you, I never will again

As you gaze at me from on your ivory tower

You're pretending to be happy, you're pretending to be free

As you watch the minutes slowly turn to hours

As you watch the minutes slowly turn to hours

In my wildest dreams, in my wildest dreams

In my wildest dreams, in my wildest dreams
