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
