Realities Lyrics

Christine Lavin
"Realities"
The reality of me cannot compete with the
dreams you have of her.
And the love you've given me is not as sweet as the
feelings that she stirs.
And so you turn away and you say that you're
sorry,
But you must pursue this dream, this improbable dream.
Though
things have not been bad, you can't say you've had
Quite as good a time as
it first seemed.
The reality of me is not what you write love songs
about.
You'd rather be longing from afar; you're not as comfortable with
love as
   you are without.
And she's a thousand miles gone, and that's
fine,
'Cause you're fond of the shimmer distance brings to these
things.
And tonight when you sleep you'll keep dreaming of the love
And
the happiness you're so sure she will bring.
The reality of me is probably
much like the reality of her.
By the time you find this out let's just hope
I've recovered from the hurt.
'Cause if I get a call that you're all by
yourself
And you're longing for the love that we once knew.
Oh what would
I do
With the reality of you?
