It's autumn, the night time's closing in
She's putting on her lipstick while staring right into the mirror
She picks up her gloves, picks up her handbag
High heels click clack out the back door down the stairway and
It's nighttime, the car pulls into the street
Brisk blue air feels cool on her face and her neck
She settles back, on imitation leather
Takes a left run and puts the pedal to the metal
I can't sleep when I'm dreaming about you
I have dreams when I'm sleeping without you
I can't sleep when I'm dreaming about you
I have dreams when I'm sleeping without you
The car stops, she unfastens her belt
She's pulling on her gloves and checking her rouge in the mirror
She opens the door and picks up her handbag
Feels the moisture on her ankles as she walks across the yard and
It's quiet, she pauses for a moment by the door
Turns the key that opens to the red shag entry of the house
She slips off her jacket, slips off her shoes
Tiptoes down the hallway to the bedroom on the right
I can't sleep when I'm dreaming about you
I have dreams when I'm sleeping without you
I can't sleep when I'm dreaming about you
I have dreams when I'm sleeping without you
