Derrick Harriott - Go Away Dream

Go away, dream
Du-dup-du-du

Go away, dream, 'cause I know you ain't real
You let me see her, but you won't let me feel
But her arms will be open, she'll be there until
I try to touch her and I cannot turn the deal
So I stay awake, just as long as I can
And in an open field, she appears again
I want to kiss her, and the broken heart she sees
I wake up, hugging my pillow, facing reality

So go away, dream - ooh-ooh-ooh
Go away, dream - yeah-yeah-yeah
Go away, dream - ooh-ooh-ooh
Go away, dream - yeah-yeah-yeah

Now my mother hears me crying, all through the night
She said: "Son, that lady is much too hard in life
Well if you're too much for me, in life it seems
You've been too much for me, baby, for my dreams

So go away, dream - ooh-ooh-ooh
Go away, dream - yeah-yeah-yeah
Go away, dream - ooh-ooh-ooh
Go away, dream - yeah-yeah-yeah

I know the reason, he won't let me have her
Men must submit to her, heaven, here on earth
So even in real life, she's still just a dream
So when I see her, I turn my head and sing

Go away, dream - ooh-ooh-ooh
Go away, dream - yeah-yeah-yeah
Go away, dream - ooh-ooh-ooh
Go away, dream - yeah-yeah-yeah

Go away, dream - ooh-ooh-ooh
Go away, dream - yeah-yeah-yeah
Go away, dream - ooh-ooh-ooh..
