Dreamin' of You Songtext
von Bob Dylan

Well, I′m walking through the summer night
Jukebox playing low
Yesterday everything was moving too fast
Today everything going too slow

A cup filled up to the brim
Got all the trimming, nothing to trim
Where your love is my link to the outside world
And always it will remain

Dreaming of you is all I do
But it's driving me insane

Your light in this place is so really bad
It′s almost like being at the bottom of a stream
But the burning reality of your sweet face
Makes me feel like I'm expected to wake up from a dream

The river runs strong
Like myself getting swept along
By the grave of some child
Who neither ever laughed or smiled
I pondered my fate in the rain


Dreaming of you is all I do
And it's driving me insane

Somewhere dawn is breaking again
And the light is streaking across the floor
Church bells ringing with every chime
I wonder who they′re ringing for

Travel under any old star
You′ll see me wherever you are
Well, the shadowy past is so vague and so vast
I'm sleeping in a palace of pain
Dreaming of you and it′s all I do
But it's driving me insane

Now maybe they′ll get me
And maybe they won't
But whatever it won′t be tonight
I wish your hand as it might right now
That we could go together well, the moon is white


I squandered the years of my youth
It's a scary thing, the truth
Some things last longer than you think they will
Well, you're like a monkey on a chain
Dreaming of you is all I do
But it′s driving me insane

Well, I eat when I′m hungry
And I drink when I'm dry
And I live my life on the square
And even if the flesh falls off of my bed
It wouldn′t matter just as long as you're there

Well, I feel like a ghost in love
Underneath the heavens above
Feel further away than ever before
And there′s nothing that I know how to explain
Dreaming of you is all I do
But it's driving me insane

Everything in my way is so resplendent today
It′s so queer in an unusual form
Smiles of golden haze here and there
Like beams of light in a storm

Maybe you were here and maybe you weren't
Maybe you picked something up that got burnt
The silent song that got me on the run
And it's burning a hole in my brain
Dreaming of you is all I do
But it′s driving me insane
