With her screamin' in the rain Did she wake you up to tell you that It was only a change of plan? Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup With the promise of a man Did I see you walking with the boys Though it was not hand in hand? And was some black face in a lonely place When you could understand? Did she wake you up to tell you that It was only a change of plan? Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup With the promise of a man Will I see you give more than I can take? Will I only harvest some? As the days fly past will we lose our grasp Or fuse it in the sun? Did she wake you up to tell you that It was only a change of plan? Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup With the promise of a man Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup With the promise of a man
