I have come back,dreaming我回来了，做着梦
dreaming，动词dream的ING形式，也就是dream的现在分词，在这里做伴随状语，我回来了，我回来时的状态是‘仍没从梦中醒过来’的状态。
一起来看一下这种用现在分词表伴随的用法：
The child was in his mother's arms, singing.那个孩子在母亲的怀里，唱着歌。
He looked at me, smiling.他看着我，一脸的笑。
Don't come back to me, crying.不要哭着跑回来。

so you must lead me through the day 所以请在这白日里引领我
lead:导致；领导；引领
Let me lead the way, please.让我来带路吧。
If you want to lead, you have to know the way.想领航，你得知道方向才行！（想当老大啊？你得知道怎么当才行）

I will touch you night time in the loveliest way 我会在静夜轻抚你，用我最深情的方式
night time:夜间
If night time is the only time you can exercise then you should of course do it anyways. 如果你只有在晚上才有时间锻炼身体，那当然你也只有这么做了。
反义词：day time日间
When I'm with you at night it feels as if it were day time.和你在一起的时候，晚上也像白天一样。
loveliest：最可爱的；是lovely"可爱的"的最高级。

I got burnt from everywhere无论到哪里，都被灼伤
to get burnt:被烧伤；被烫伤
burnt原型为burn,过去式burned或burnt
The food is burnt.吃的都煮糊了。
sunburn:晒伤
I got a bad sunburn on my back.我后背严重晒伤。
Intense exposure to the sun can cause severe sunburn.大量曝露在阳光下，可能会引起严重的晒伤。
有一句非常恶毒的诅咒英语是：You'll burn in hell!你会死无葬身之地！
顺便讲一下，厨房里面，我们打开火煮东西的灶眼就叫做burner。

Now you must make me a shadow现在请为我开辟一片藏身之处/树荫
shadow:阴影；影子；昏暗处
Shadow is the person we rather not be.我们的影子其实就是我们不想成为的那个人。
I did not think of her, but it was as though her light shadow were lying on my heart.我没有去想她，可是她轻盈的影子仿佛就躺在我心里。
实用的词组：eye shadow眼影
Eye shadow can heighten¹ your eyes.眼影能让你的眼睛看起来更大。

You must wake me in a while 请你务必等会儿唤醒我
in a while：一会儿；一段时间；一会儿之后
Just a moment, please. Our boss will be here in a while.请稍等一下，我们老板一会儿就到。
once in a while:不时，偶尔
Instead of （而不是）working indoors all day you should go out for a walk once in a while.你应该时不时去户外散散步，不要整天呆在屋里干活。
You have to let your hair down every once in a while. You know, live a little!你偶尔也要让自己放松一下，享受一下生活嘛！（let hair down散开头发;不拘礼节;放松 放松一下）
