Why Can't I Just Dream |revised|

Long night thinking,
Another day to dream,
But when I awaken,
I will be sinking-
In the thought of you leaving me.

Long unfilled days-
Without rain,
Short unfilled sleep-
With pain.
Only you can save me,

Time stands still-
As the days roll by,
Only time to kill-
Good things will fly,

The clouds will hang low,
As they follow me,
Soon I will know-
This has to be,

Why can't I dream,
With my head up high,
Why can't I dream,
Only this can get me by-
