lyrics

you dreamed me so many nights
then you left and died
now where do your dreams go?
is there some part of me
forever in the blue spring
now more alone than alone

now i dream someone real frightening
he haunts the room while i'm sleeping
he doesn't mean any harm
still its like saying goodbye
all the time
learning duets in the dark

a mystery if you're still dreaming me
my friend, where'd you go?

when i dream of sweet jane
i'm looking round her room again
trying on all of her clothes
i see me in the mirror
me under a sheet
i'm following her everywhere she goes

i'm sweet to you then i'll change
i'll make you think you're seeing things
i'm here for you then i'm long gone
it's you i'm scaring
your friend is disappearing
ghost stories if i've ever known one

a mystery, what's happening to me
when i don't know where you are

my sister's fixing up old reels
she knows most the way i feel
she's been watching this movie since day one
and though there ain't a frame that she ain't in
still the fade to black moment's forever gone

i long to be a dog i know
he always comes when he's called
the promise is all we got
so please give me a new name
let me start again
and my old life
no one here will ever know

'til mysteries don't mean much to me anymore
