Dream of love (based on a Schumann song) It’s five in the morning, outside it’s wet and grey The sign in the window says I’m closed for the day At night through the window I saw you drive away Now I hear some preacher say: ‘It’s time the world was ending, So on your knees and pray Cause Jesus is coming The sinners have to pay!’ But my mind at the moment is in such disarray Cause you chose not to stay.
Love’s just a dream Everything’s extreme First you think you have her Then you find the ground beneath her’s air But still you think your savoir faire Will make her real, and make her care You dream the dream of love.
‘There’s a high school reunion - the Class of 68 Please contact Louisa for the time and the date.’ Please tell her I’m sorry and would she contemplate Getting together with an old school mate
‘There’s a war in Jamaica, some child shot a man.’ ‘Some woman says she’s pregnant, she met an alien.’ We weren’t exactly strangers, with her my life began Why she had to run…
Love’s just a dream Everything’s extreme First you think you have her Then your find the ground beneath her’s air But still you think your savoir faire Will make her real, and make her care You dream the dream of love.
It’s nine in the morning Inside I’m feeling cold Beside me the radio is playing something old ‘How next time will be the kind of love that breaks the mould…’
