lyrics

I dreamed a dream of happiness drifting on into the night
Having known the pain of loneliness for large parts of my life
It seemed so real I did believe that we would be alright
Just for a while hope did prevail, that morning would bring light

Then the nightmares did return and I knew that I was right
I woke alone, in darkness

Could be, could be not, I’ve got things on my mind
Fighting like a beaver to get my similies in line
Three steps forwards two steps back, dodge the landmines on the way
Life is like a pantomime, with a matinee each day

Then the nightmares did return and I knew that I was right, and I woke alone in darkness
The more I practice, the luckier I get
What you see is no mystery, it’s unbelievable

I dreamed a dream of happiness long into the night
Having known the pain of loneliness for large parts of my life
Could be, could be not, I’ve got things on my mind
Fighting like a beaver to get my similies in line

Then the nightmares did return and I knew that I was right, and I woke alone in darkness
The more I practice, the luckier I get
What you see is no mystery, it’s unbelievable
