Description
I wrote this about a woman I was attracted to but who did not yet know it. I envisaged me sitting at a KOTATSU (heated table in a tatami room) listening to her play her violin as the afternoon passed, the two of us eating mikans (mandarin oranges). She would be leaving soon, a factor in my not being sure if I sure proclaimed my feelings for her or not. I eventually told her, she was not all that impressed, but she liked the fact that I had written a song ABOUT her.
If you hear a Middle Eastern theme. that is what I was attempting. I recorded a version with me harmonizing along with myself (to be uploaded after this) where i think I put a different stress on the phrase. Compare "sit BY you" with sit DOWN by you. I am thinking it might be nice to alternatt the two. Also, the other version has a decidedly flamenco feel to it.
Looking for harmonies, arrangements, other voices, etc.

Lyrics
I would like to sit down by you, I would like to listen to your dreams
I would like to close my eyes and listen to your dreams
I'd like to hold your hand in mine if you will one day let me
But if you feel you cannot I will understand
I would like to sit down by you, I would like to hear your violin
I would like to close my eyes and listen to your dreams
Mikans eaten one by one as the sun is crossing the room
I would like to close my eyes and listen to your dreams
You may think that you deceived me, that what I see it isn't you, not really you
But all I want is to close my eyes and be with you
I know that one day you'll be leaving
For Birmingham and other places where dreams are waiting
I know I can't go, the sun's across the room now
I would like to close my eyes and listen to your dreams
I would like to sit down by you, I would like to listen to your dreams
I would like to close my eyes and listen to your dreams
I would like to close my eyes and listen to your dreams
I'd like to hold your hand in mine if you will one day let me
But if you feel you cannot I will understand
I would like to sit down by you, I would like to hear your violin
I would like to close my eyes and listen to your dreams
Mikans eaten one by one as the sun is crossing the room
I would like to close my eyes and listen to your dreams
You may think that you deceived me, that what I see it isn't you, not really you
But all I want is to close my eyes and be with you
I know that one day you'll be leaving
For Birmingham and other places where dreams are waiting
I know I can't go, the sun's across the room now
I would like to close my eyes and listen to your dreams
I would like to sit down by you, I would like to listen to your dreams
I would like to close my eyes and listen to your dreams

The originalversion with harmony is one that I can't find it mp3. I think it is an rm file that I somehow converted to Flash. It is here--->
