For a minute, I am peaceful and I think I am alone
'Til you appear and put me in a trance
I have tried to dismember every memory, day by day
Though pieces of you hang on down the road
I can't find you in the daytime
You don't want me, honey, that's fine
But when I lay down
Stay out of my dreams
Now, when I was a confidant, I made a grave mistake
I gave you up to forces still unknown
Your light shined like angels as I tried to touch your hand
But I took you wrong for someone still unseen
I can't see you in the daytime
You don't love me, honey, that's fine
But when I lay down
Stay out of my dreams
Because I've committed no crime
And when I'm sleeping, that's on my dime
So when I lay down
Stay out of my dreams
