(Lyrics are taken from elviscostello.com, Costello's official website.)

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

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


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


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


F
But no one knows this passion now
Dm
No one knows this passion now


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