Half A Dream Away Lyrics

Half A Dream Away

We`re just half a dream away 
Sitting on our fences 
Building up defences 
Making up rules by which we play

We`re just half way down the road 
Staking our positions 
But stupid superstitions 
Only give fools too heavy a load

The magpie screeched and my window is shattered 
Her body`s bruised but her soul`s not battered 
The fireman tried but the hose was frozen 
The cupboard`s bare but the door needs closing

We spend half our time away 
From being where we want to 
And seeing who it`s fun to 
Not blaming ourselves for our mistakes

We spend half a dream away 
Just looking out of windows 
Waiting for a signal 
Waiting for night to return to day

The tree was bare but the birds were singing 
The milk turned sour but my thirst needs quenching 
The meat was dead and I need me feeding 
The room was cold but the night was freezing

The rainbow frowned when the sun was shining 
A baby`s snatched on a beautiful morning 
A dog runs wild and the brakes are screaming 
A church on fire is struck by lightning 
The dead man`s hands had beautiful fingers 
The princess frowned at her lovers mistress 
She went insane and poisoned the children 
A teacher`s drowned and a child is laughing

We`re just half a dream away...
