As the reddest sun is sinking down
I feel like I got burned throughout the day
As I turned red, you stayed a Banyan brown
Not from the sun but from the words you said
You're the perfect stranger to me
And I don't know how I know
When I know, I know, I know
I've only ever met you in a dream
But have you ever had a dream
When you're wide awake to see
The light of the day
In the night
Lying wide awake
As the brightest moon is rising up
I feel like you were reaching for my hand
Your lips turned blue, you started shivering
Not from the moon but the swim unplanned
You're the perfect stranger to me
And I don't care how I know
When I know, I know, I know
I've only ever met you in a dream
But have you ever had a dream
Where you're wide awake to see
All the lights on Orchard Street
In a dream of Luther King
The light of the day
In the night
Lying wide awake
As the reddest sun is sinking down
