I Still Dream Lyrics
It was cruel of you to stand at my door and take my hand
Like a drowning man I clung to my defenses
And ten years is a time but your looks, love, it's a crime
And I lost my tongue in the tangle of my senses
And I never was to know that I'd come to miss you so
But time winds down and I turned my back long ago
But I still dream, oh darling I still dream
Oh I still dream, oh Lord knows I still dream
On the killing floor I stand with a stun gun in my hand
Like a cowboy shooting badmen on the range
And nothing satisfies and the soul inside me dies
As I duck each punch and never risk the change
And now you look at me with that same old used-to-be
Oh but time winds down and I turned my back long ago
But I still dream, oh darling I still dream
Ah but now you look at me with that same old used-to-be
But time winds down and I turned my back long ago
But I still dream, oh darling, darling I still dream
I still dream, oh Lord knows, Lord knows I still dream
Oh I still dream, oh darling, darling, darling I still dream
Like a drowning man I clung to my defenses
And ten years is a time but your looks, love, it's a crime
And I lost my tongue in the tangle of my senses
And I never was to know that I'd come to miss you so
But time winds down and I turned my back long ago
Oh I still dream, oh Lord knows I still dream
Like a cowboy shooting badmen on the range
And nothing satisfies and the soul inside me dies
As I duck each punch and never risk the change
And now you look at me with that same old used-to-be
Oh but time winds down and I turned my back long ago
But time winds down and I turned my back long ago
I still dream, oh Lord knows, Lord knows I still dream
Oh I still dream, oh darling, darling, darling I still dream

I was just listening to this and with the lyrics. One main thing I think is going on is that he thought she was going to break up with him, so he broke up rather suddenly and completely with her. Now his regret is that he can't go back on the break up. And maybe he could have if he had let her break up with him?? I think the part "with a stun gun in my hand" was a realization of a finality, that he did it so well she would never get back together with him.
