Dreamin About U

I can't stop listening to this poetic and moving treasure from the Emancipation album. I have been playing this all spring and it sounds good every time I hear it.

Dreamin' About U

If the wind blew every petal from Ur precious red rose
Would U B afraid of what U'd find inside?

When I'm alone in my room
I can't stop dreaming about U, dreaming about U
When I'm alone in my room
I can't stop dreaming about U, dreaming about U
And every time I do what I need 2 do
I can't stop dreaming about U, dreaming about U

Revolving around every word that is spoken
Like the planets around the sun
I want U
Ur tongue is a great persuader
Yeah, U got me sold
And when I'm alone in my room just watching a rose
I dream about U, I dream about U

When I'm alone in my room, yeah
I can't stop dreaming about U
When I'm alone in my room, baby, baby
I can't stop dreaming about U, dreaming about U
And every time I do what I need 2 do
I can't stop dreaming about U, dreaming about U

When my sane twin reigns
Claiming Ur aim is 2 maim my subconscious into being with U
I dream about U
Betting on the notion that if my lustier twin prevails
Like the ruins of Rome, I'll lie helpless at Ur feet
Yeah, when I'm alone
I dream about U, I dream about U

I dream about U, baby
When I'm alone in my room
I dream about U, my baby
I dream about U, U, U

(And here we stand)
And here we stand amidst Ur core (U)
Like the petals on this rose I adore (U)
The inside (The inside)
If the inside is kind
Kind in a sense that one would come from all
And the wish that U wish will come true if U call
But if not, (U will fall) U will fall
And I'll still B alone (Just dreaming about U)
With this ball in my stomach just dreaming about U (Dreaming about U)

One of my favourites, best on Emancipation.
Not only the lyrics but also the instrumentation brings you to another world.

It's so lovely and emotionally honest. The bass to me towards the end has such a heartbreaking swiftness (almost Jaco/Joni style) that carries the rest of the sadness home.

Emancipation II-the 2nd CD- is a perfect album all by itself. Turn out the lights in your bedroom, open a window, and put II on your headphones...incredible. mmmm
