  • How long can I stay
    In this nowhere cafe
    'fore night turns into day?
    I wonder why I'm so frightened of dawn
    All I have and all I know
    Is this dream of you which keeps me living on

    There's a moment when
    All old things become new again
    But that moment might have come and gone
    All I have and all I know
    Is this dream of you which keeps me living on

    I look away but I keep seeing it
    I don't want to believe
    But I keep believing it
    Shadows dance upon the wall
    Shadows that seem to know it all

    Am I too blind to see
    Is my heart playing tricks on me?
    I'm lost in the crowd, all my tears are gone
    All I have and all I know
    Is this dream of you which keeps me living on

    Everything I touch
    Seems to disappear
    Everywhere I turn, you are always here
    I'll run this race until my earthly death
    I'll defend this place with my dying breath

    From a cheerless room
    In a curtain gloom, I saw a star from Heaven fall
    I turned and looked again but it was gone
    All I have and all I know
    Is this dream of you which keeps me living on Writer/s: Bob Dylan
