One of the better known Blind Melon songs of of their self-titled debut, yet still fairly unknown. This song is a personal favorite of mine and preceeds No Rain on the album tracklist.

And when your deepest thoughts are broken,
keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die. "
