Dreamer's Ball - Early Acoustic Take / August 1978

A-one, two, three, four

I used to be your baby
Used to be your pride and joy
You used to take me dancing
Just like any other boy
But now you've found another partner
You've left me like a broken toy

It's someone else you're taking
Someone else you're playing to
Honey, though I'm aching
Just know what I have to do
If I can't have you when I'm waking
I'll go to sleep and dream I'm with you

So take me, take me, take me to the dreamer's ball
I'll be right on time and I'll dress so fine
You'll love me when you see me, I won't have to worry
Take me, take me, promise not to wake me
When I'm singing it's all been true

C'mon and take me, take me, take me, I'm your play thing now
You make my life worthwhile with the slightest smile
Or destroy me with a barely perceptible whisper
Gently, take me, you know I'm only dreaming of my baby
At the dreamer's ball

Take me, hold me
Remember what you told me
You'd meet me at the dreamer's ball
I'll meet you at the dreamer's ball, yeah
