You Stepped Into My Dreams is pretty good and a just miss for inclusion on the album. In a way this song is similar to Arms and Legs since despite the strong feeling of love this might be about the one that got away. The guy is leaving since:
We both gotta be moving on
Sometimes you see a lover and she's made for love
But you let that lover slip by
You believe and yet she's so hard to get
And you never know the reasons why
He is clearly enamored but he's getting on a plane maybe never to return although she stepped into his dreams.

You Stepped Into My Dreams
(Ian Hunter)
That's it baby, take one last look
We gotta go catch a plane
Then you won't die, and I won't die
But we won't ever be the same
Oh I can feel a mood coming down on me
Such a good thing disappears
I can sense the loss creeping up on us
And it's deeper than any tears I've known
You stepped into my dreams
You opened up the door
You stepped into my dreams
I want you back for more
You stepped into my dreams tonight
In the shadows of the night you saw me
In the morning you were gone
Won't you blow a kiss to me baby
We both gotta be moving on
Sometimes you see a lover and she's made for love
But you let that lover slip by
You believe and yet she's so hard to get
And you never know the reasons why
She stepped into your dreams
She opened up your door
She stepped into your dreams
You want her so much more
She stepped into your dreams tonight yeah
Oh when you're doing what you're doing
What do you think of me babe
There ain't much else to say
In another time, in another place
Things might have turned out okay
I can feel a darkness I can never conceal
Sometimes I get just a little insane
I can feel emotions like the mighty oceans
They're driving me again, and I know
You stepped into my dreams
You opened up the door
You stepped into my dreams
I want you back for more
You stepped into my dreams
And I don't know what to do
I'm so scared of losing you.
You Stepped Into My Dreams | 4:41 | Originally released on the outtakes CD Long Odds and Outtakes. It is also on the compilation From The Knees Of My Heart and on Tilting The Mirror - Rarities (box set only). The version on Tilting The Mirror omits the count-in at the start, and so is a few seconds shorter (4:37). |
