Within a dream

oh, babe within a dream I've been lovin' you
for shame to scratch the seam sealing servitude
never known such a branded iron
never known such a strong desire
withered words and wine for now
soon the judge will be calling us down
yeah, yeah, yeah

enraged like horses hobbling on the moon
engaged in a game we should not pursue
now the jury's lost its tongue
they hold our heads to be hung
a man may mute his mind
better blue than beaten or blind
yeah, yeah, yeah

tears won't wash away
tears can't wash away feelings
words can't start to say
words can't convey their meanings
tears won't wash away

in vain are the terms all too often used
in vain telling thoughts too long overdue
now the prison's in your eyes
the jailer is your lies
withered words and wine for now
soon the judge will be calling us down
yeah, yeah, yeah
