I'm not the only one in love with you
Lucky, it doesn't show
It's never easy to be ill at ease--
Funny, you didn't know
You are a song seller
A story teller, a dream vendor--(and)
We could have cared for each other's dreams
Now I'm inclined to let my dreams
Take care of their own
You have the eyes of heartache met with time
You're a child growing on
While all the others long to care for you
Care enough, then be done
I'd be your earth mother
Your best lover, your day's sunrise--
And we could have cared for each other's
Dreams
Now I'm inclined to let my dreams
Take care of their own
So sad--
Some things are not meant to be found
This is not a happy love--
But the sad, quiet kind
Nowhere bound......
And if one day the right one comes along
Sing her songs--to believe
And if she asks if she's the only one
Sing her songs for her dreams
You are my song seller
My story teller, a dream vendor--
We could have cared for each other's dreams
Now I'm inclined to let my dreams
Take care of their own
Lucky, it doesn't show
It's never easy to be ill at ease--
Funny, you didn't know
You are a song seller
A story teller, a dream vendor--(and)
We could have cared for each other's dreams
Now I'm inclined to let my dreams
Take care of their own
You have the eyes of heartache met with time
You're a child growing on
While all the others long to care for you
Care enough, then be done
I'd be your earth mother
Your best lover, your day's sunrise--
And we could have cared for each other's
Dreams
Now I'm inclined to let my dreams
Take care of their own
So sad--
Some things are not meant to be found
This is not a happy love--
But the sad, quiet kind
Nowhere bound......
And if one day the right one comes along
Sing her songs--to believe
And if she asks if she's the only one
Sing her songs for her dreams
You are my song seller
My story teller, a dream vendor--
We could have cared for each other's dreams
Now I'm inclined to let my dreams
Take care of their own
