lyrics
there’s no heartache i’ve endured
that could compare to this
There’s no soldier, or army
that could bear all this
i’ve been dreaming again
of the times I spent with you
black hair and eyes of blue
there’s no levee, or dam wall
that could keep this in
there’s no magic you could muster
that’d stop it deepening
i’ve been dreaming again
of the things we used to do
black hair and eyes of blue
I don’t need torture or torment
this is hard enough
there's not an island or asylum
that would be far enough
to stop me dreaming again
and pleadin’ you’ll come through
