I Can't Touch You There

and i know...what i know
but that's as far as i can go
there's no place...for the dream
in the waking world

and i feel...what i feel
but i can't believe that it is real
there's no place...for a heart
in the waking world

'cause i can't touch you there
all is get is psychic emotion
can't get beyond the door to the floor
or wherever it is you go
'cause i can't touch you there
spotlight would shine on the forbidden lovers
can't reach beyond the wall of my dreams
never know if it is what it seems

and i see...what i see
but that's as close as i can be
there's no place...for my thoughts
in the waking world

i hear...what i hear
but reality is what i fear
there's no place...for that sound
in the waking world

'cause i can't touch you there
all is get is psychic emotion
can't get beyond the door to the floor
or wherever it is you go
'cause i can't touch you there
spotlight would shine on the forbidden lovers
can't reach beyond the wall of my dreams
never know if it is what it seems

i'll have to wait for a day past forever
and even then never...will i know

'cause i can't touch you there
all is get is psychic emotion
can't get beyond the door to the floor
or wherever it is you go
'cause i can't touch you there
spotlight would shine on the forbidden lovers
can't reach beyond the wall of my dreams
never know if it is what it seems
