I saw the waters standing still   And the world began to chill   Around my loneliness   I felt the air come to a stall   And I did not move at all   My world, it just got colder      Lately, it seems   That all of my dreams have come true   But why does it feel   Like nothing's for real without you?   The world seems to stop   Around my loneliness      Why has the sun refused to shine?   Maybe 'cause I drank the wine   It's bitter in its sweetness   Now, well, it looks as though the sky   Is sad and wants to cry   Raindrops filled with fire      Lately, it seems   That all of my dreams have come true   But why does it feel   Like nothing's for real without you?   The world seems to stop   Around my loneliness      Where will I go? Lord only knows   I can't tell if it's Heaven or Hell   And the world seems to stop   Around my loneliness      Now as my world begins to clear   A whisper in my ear   Takes away my sadness      Lately it seems   Though all of my dreams have come true   Yes, they have   Why does it feel   Like nothing's for real without you?      'Cos the world seems to stop   Around my loneliness   The world seems to stop   Around my loneliness
