Terence Trent D'Arby › Lyrics › TTD's Recurring Dream

Turn, turn away

In the first dream you were a driver
And I was a car, we didn't get real far
We took a highway full of black top roadkill
Could that be me? Could that be you?
Could that be me?

In the second dream you were a rifle
And I was a deer but with no shelter near
You were camouflaged in pain, I couldn't see through
Could that be me? Could that be you?
Could that be you?

The slow striptease of time releases now the seven veils
Ages of sweet wanderlust steals about a half step from my stride
And holds me now accountable
And throws a finger at my trust
And barks like a big dog at my pride
Shows me diamonds in the rain
Diamonds

Saddled like two diamonds in the rain

In this recurring dream you said, "You were lonely"
I said, "Everyone's lonely and not just you"
Some people just hide their loneliness behind the coats of others
Could that be me? Could that be you?
Could that be me? Could that be you?

Please don't let that be me and you
Diamonds in the rain
Diamonds in the rain
That will sparkle till I die
[Incomprehensible]
Let this [Incomprehensible]
