I dreamed I was drowning
in the river Thames
I dreamed I had
nothing at all
nothing but
my own skin
I dreamed I was drifting
on the howling wind
I dreamed I had
nothing at all
nothing but
my own skin
Slipped away from
your open hands
into the river
Saw your face
looking back at me
I saw my past
and I saw my future...
You take the pieces
of the dreams
that you have
'Cause you don't like
the way they seem
to be going
You cut them up
and spread them out
on the floor
You're full of hope
as you begin rearranging
put it all back together
But any way you
look at things
looks like
the lovers are losing
I dreamed
I was watching
the young lover's dance
I reached out
to touch your hand
but I was watching
from a distance
We cling to love
like a skidding car
clings to the corner
I try to hold on
to what we are
the more I squeeze
the quicker we all are...
You take the pieces
of the dreams
that you have
'Cause you don't like
the way they seem
to be going
You cut them up
and spread them out
on the floor
You're full of hope
as you begin rearranging
put it all back together
But any way you look
at things
looks like
the lovers are losing
I dreamed I had
nothing at all
I dreamed I had
nothing at all
You take the pieces
of the dreams
that you have
'Cause you don't like
the way they seem
to be going
You cut them up
and spread them out
on the floor
You're full of hope
as you begin rearranging
put it all back together
But in the final reckoning
looks like
the lovers are losing
