Lyrics Yusuf Islam

Yusuf Islam

Everytime I Dream

Every time I dream

I keep seeing streets and alleyways

places that I've never known

Every time I dream I am being

lifted to a height that I too frightened to go

Then I wake up and find everything's away

it seems, one night ago.

Every time I sleep

I keep hoping this would be the night of nights

that I see you again

As I close my eyes like rims and curtains

slowly rising on an empty stage

Then I'm back in the stall sitting all alone

waiting for the show to begin.

Oooh ...

Every time I dream

I would often find myself

running from a wild pack of lice

'Till I reach a house

and hear the gurge upstairs

and look for a place to hide

But if I saw you there

I wouldn't dare dream again of opening my eyes.

Mmm ...
