When Did I Stop Dreaming - 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?
