OCEAN COLOUR SCENE - Half A Dream Away lyrics

rate me

We're just half a dream away Sitting on our fences Building up defences Making up rules by which you play We're just half way down the road Staking our postions But stupid supersitions Only give fools too heavy a load The magpie screeched and the windows shattered Her body's bruised but her soul's not battered The fireman tried but the hose was broken The cupboards 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 Looking out of windows Waiting for a signal Waiting for night to close the day The tree was bare but the birds were singing The milk turned sour and 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 laughing A baby's snatched on a beatiful morning A dog runs wild and the brakes are screaming A church on fire is struck by lightining 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
