the year 

I've been sleeping through the morning
not waking till the afternoon
in my dreams i'm fixing everything     

i've been no place   with no one
i am floating all around the room
in my dreams i can go anywhere

the year the house finally fell
the year the drought dried up the well
so many things i wanted to tell you
the year the house finally fell

if you see me with my eyes closed
don't worry, i will be back soon
in my dreams i've got a lot to do

the year the house finally fell
the year the drought dried up the well
so many things i meant to tell you
the year the house finally fell 

i've been waiting till the fire's out
and the candles have all burned down
in my dreams i can see everything   

the year the house finally fell
the year the drought dried up the well
so many things I never did tell you
the year the house finally fell        

the day the roof just caved in
the way i gave up trying to win
so many places i should've been
the day the roof just caved in  

i've been sleeping through the morning
not waking till the afternoon…
