Half A Dream Away Lyrics

    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...
