0:17Time goes by I fall out of touch
0:20I can't explain why I fall so much
0:25I bought a pack of cigarettes
0:28Sent an old Elvis stamp to your new address
0:33The weather's here wish I was fine
0:37Wish that you could read between the lines
0:41Cause you dream in colors
0:45My night comes in black and blue
0:49I'll send a postcard
0:53Oh how I wish that I were you
1:00I wish I were you
1:05Cause I am nothing
1:07You are more than flesh and blood a golden door
1:13Let me come inside of you
1:17Let me do the things I wanna do
1:21Now take me down to where you live
1:25And take the things I cannot give
1:30Cause you dream in colors
1:34My night comes in black and blue
1:38I'll send a postcard
1:42Oh how I wish that I were you
1:49Cause you are like the ocean
1:53I'm a river that's run dry
1:58If you cannot reach me
2:02All my wild flowers they will die yeah yeah yeah
2:22Now take me down to where you live
2:26And take the things I cannot give yeah yeah yeah
2:33You dream in colors
2:36My night it comes in black and blue
2:41I'll send a postcard
2:44Oh how I wish that I were you

3:12Take me down to where you live
3:16And take the things I cannot give
3:28You can take me down to where you live
