Did I see you down in a young girl's town With your mother in so much pain? I was almost there at the top of the stairs With her screamin' in the rain.
Did she wake you up to tell you that It was only a change of plan? Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup With the promise of a man.
Did I see you walking with the boys Though it was not hand in hand? And was some black face in a lonely place When you could understand?
Did she wake you up to tell you that It was only a change of plan? Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup With the promise of a man.
Will I see you give more than I can take? Will I only harvest some? As the days fly past will we lose our grasp Or fuse it in the sun?
