AND SO THE DREAM GOES ON
I dreamt last night
That it all worked out
But I barely recognised us
Meek and polite
Terribly bright
Not right
So, let's try a code
We'll never say a harsh word
But we're so, so cruel
In the things we never do
And the things we leave behind.
One day the dream comes
The next day a plan forms
One day the dream comes
The next day the money's gone
And so the dream goes on
How we dare to be dreamers
How we dare to go on
This one mystifies us
And so the dream goes on
Brought back to earth today
Brought back
Swept out
And washed away.
I feel like running away
But I feel tired
I feel like hiding away
.
Even though I like you
I wouldn't do that to you
Even though I care about you
I couldn't do that
.
I felt like running away
But I felt tired
I felt like hiding away.
