C majorC
I dreamed of my old lover last night
 C majorC
I wonder if I spoke out loud
A minorAm
If by chance my husband overheard
   C majorC
He'd put my face back in the crowd

C majorC
His eyes were clear and gentle then
  C majorC
He'd kiss the worries from my brow
 A minorAm
I long to fall to sleep again
 C majorC
And I wonder how he would look now


C majorC
Would our kids grow stubborn or grow strong
   C majorC
Would their limbs bronze insult to the sun
A minorAm
I wonder how it feels but then
 C majorC
I rarely dream of anyone


   C majorC
In the songs of shame and tales of dread
     C majorC
Where they seal the lovers lips with lead
 C majorC
And all the vines wind through their eyes


FF
But no one knows this passion now
DmDm
No one knows this passion now


C majorC
So I keep this fancy to myself
 C majorC
I keep my lipstick twisted tight
A minorAm
I long to fall to sleep again
   C majorC
