When Did I Stop Dreaming - Elvis Costello

作词：Elvis Costello

作曲：Elvis Costello

You appeared when I was lost in reverie

If this is not a dream it's my mistake

And now I lie in wait for dawn to break

I'm fairly sure I'm wide awake

Pardon me if I seem distant and strange

Just tell me when did I stop dreaming

Let me get this straight

Did I hallucinate

This fine and helpless feeling

Tell me when did I stop dreaming

Let me know if you can help me explain

I didn't recognise the danger

But people will talk

Was I just sleepwalking

Footprints left on the ceiling

Tell me when did I stop dreaming

Then why should you care

This is my nightmare

Was this one dream too deep

Now if I could only sleep

Answer me if you see the end in sight

I'm just a soul who's lost in limbo

Neither bad or good

I'd spare you now if I could

One more teardrop

Then I'll wake up

Tell me when did I stop dreaming
