 Intro
There’s  something about you that reminds  me of all those times
 When I  wasn’t sorry, when I wasn’t blue the cherry moon  it shone down on  us
Under  the stars  shining down  everyone  for you
 If I could count  them all I would circle  the moon
 And count  ‘em back to nothing till I got to you
Something  in you dies when it’s over
Everybody  cries sometimes
 If loving  you’s a dream that’s not worth having
 Then why  do  I dream of you
I  used to be the house that you lived  in down on Meadowlake Street
When  you moved they cut down the maple tree I  carved your name into
 The tree  became a boat,  I christened it your name
 And when the water  turned to salt from your tears
 It hit the bottom of the ocean  where I go
 When I  hear your name and I sink like a stone
Something  in you dies when it’s over
Everybody  cries sometimes
 If loving  you’s a dream that’s not worth having
 Then why  do  I dream  of you
I  feel like a dream that’s not  worth having
 Like a nervous  joke ain’t nobody  laughing
 Like somebody  with nothing ‘cause they don’t know what they’re wanting
 Tiny like the sand in the cracks of the driftwood
 Washed  up on the shore of an ocean  of you
Boats  out on the horizon
Made  of the maple tree where I used to lie down
 On Meadowlake street counting the stars
 You  and I  you  and I... you  and I  you and  I..
Something  in you dies when it’s over
Everybody  cries sometimes
 If loving  you’s a dream that’s not worth having
 Then why  do  I dream  of you,  why  do  I dream  of you
Why  do  I dream  of you, why  do  I dream  of you
 Why...
