When Did I Stop Dreaming Lyrics by Elvis Costello

When Did I Stop Dreaming Lyrics

    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?
