Why don't you stay a while
And dream out loud with me
The colors have faded from my eyes
And I can't find time to sleep
Any given mantra will do
Long as you hear what I say to you
Nobody ever knows the way
Do you wanna take shelter
In the house built in my mind
I know it's not a penthouse loft
But it stops the rain just fine
My paint by number needs a shade of blue
Nearly as much as I need you
Who's gonna tell me when
I can see you again?
I'll take the best of times, the worst of times as well
As the revolving door will spin once more
In your heart's strange hotel
When it comes to love within
You say you've never been
But I hope to take you there
Someday
