Verse 1
CSmall town,bright lights ,FSaturday Cnight
Pinballs and pool halls Dflashin their Glights
Making Cchange behind the counter in a Fpenny Carcade
Sat the fat girl daughter of GVirginia and CRay
Lydia
CLydia hid her Fthoughts like a Ccat
Behind her small eyes sunk Ddeep in her Gfat
She read Cromance magazines Fup in her Croom
And it felt just like Sunday on a GSaturday Cafternoon
Chorus
But Fdreaming just comes Cnatural
Like the Gfirst breath of a Cbaby
Like Fsunshine feeding Cdaisies
Like the Glove hidden deep in your Cheart
Verse 2
CBunk beds,shaved heads ,FSaturday Cnight
A warehouse of strangers with Dsixty watt Glights
CStaring through the ceiling just Fwanting to Cbe
Lay one of too many Gyounge CPFC
Donald
CThere were spaces between Donald and Fwhatever he Csaid
Strangers had forced him to Dlive in his Ghead
He Cenvisioned the detail of a Fromantic Cscene
After midnight in the stillness of the Gbarracks Cletrine
Chorus
But Fdreaming just comes Cnatural
Like the Gfirst breath from a Cbaby
Like Fsunshine feeding Cdaisies
Like the Glove hidden deep in your Cheart
Verse 3
CHot love,cold love ,Fno love at Call
A portrait of guilt Dhung on the Gwall
CNothing is wrong,Fnothing is Cright
Donald and Lydia Gmade love that Cnight
They made Clove in the mountains,they made Flove in the Cstreams
They made love in the valley ,they made Dlove in their Gdreams
But Cwhen they were finished there was Fnothing to Csay
Cause mostly they made love Gten miles Caway
Chorus
But Fdreaming just comes Cnatural
Like the Gfirst breath from a Cbaby
Like Fsunshine feeding Cdaisies
Like a Glove hidden deep in your Cheart
