Everything around here makes me sad
|
Everything is part of the dreams that we had
|
That will never be the way
|
We wanted them to be
|
When we dreamed these dreams that we had
|
We wanted them to be the future
|
That is now is not how we dreamed of the future
|
With an abstinent love
|
That would ride into the future
|
|
With my arms around you tight
|
My love in your heart
|
My lust, on your shoulders
|
Like beautiful epaulets
|
Flashing gallant as a stallion on parade
|
Through the city
|
|
Of the beautiful dream
|
A bohemian love song
|
That would only sound more gallant
|
As the years would perfect it
|
But I can see in my heart
|
Which is beating in the present here and now
|
I can see that this is only a dream
|
|
Come on and wake up with me
|
Hey come on and wake up with me
|
Hey come on and wake up with me
|
|
Everything around here is so beautiful
|
Everything is part of the dreams we will paint
|
That will never look the way
|
We thought that they would look
|
|
When we began to step into the future
|
From the place that we are standing
|
It don't look too good right now
|
But I know you're a wonderful painter
|
|
You're a master with your colors
|
And as mine get fainter in your pallet
|
There will always be an afterglow
|
Of our beautiful dream
|
That will never be the way
|
We dreamed it to be, but hey
|
|
Come on and wake up with me
|
Hey come on and wake up with me
|
Hey come on and wake up with me
|
|
From our beautiful dream
|
