Did I see you down in a young girl's town
                             A
With your mother in so much pain?

I was almost there at the top of the stairs 
         D                D/A  D  D/A 
With her screamin' in the rain. 
 
Did she wake you up to tell you that 
It was only a change of plan? 
Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup 
With the promise of a man. 
 
Did I see you walking with the boys 
Though it was not hand in hand? 
And was some black face in a lonely place 
With the promise of a man. 
 
Did she wake you up to tell you that 
It was only a change of plan? 
Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup 
With the promise of a man.
