She is the person who waits in my dreams
She is transparent and cannot be seen
Violently waiting till I go to bed
Deeper and deeper she enters my head
Standing in front of the wonderful house
Covered with paper mache
Closing the cellophane door
With this she runs awaaaayyyyyy
I am the person who waits in her dreams
She has discovered the love that you see
She hasn't noticed the changes I see
She never watches she never dreams
Slowly I turn from the wonderful house
Running a prominent name
Watching the blue crystal veil
Taking a dream awayyyyyyyyy
Woman needed the blues on the corner
Woman never is there when you want her
Always got something to doooo
Never can be there with youuuu
She is the person who waits in my dreams
She is transparent and cannot be seen
Violently waiting till I go to bed
Deeper and deeper she enters my head
Standing in front of the wonderful house
Covered with paper mache
Closing the cellophane door
With this she runs awaaay
Woman needed the blues on the corner
Woman never is there when you want her
Always got something to doooo
