Somebody Else’s Dream

Too good to last, how those four words ring in my ears
A voice from the past has been heard again
Whether it's real or not, I can't say I care
But my memory's going and my mind is losing it's grip
I'm walking on thinning ice
Soon I shall be taken down, drowned in blind ignorance
Its hard to bear but harder still
To tell the one I care for
Please to say love is here today, but it's going away, going away
How can I fight a fire that comes from inside myself
That threatens a total end
So much to lose when I still had so much to learn
Its hard to bear but harder still
To tell the one I care for
Please to say love is here today, but it's going away, going away
Millions of people won't know what I mean
None can appreciate somebody else's dream
Thousands of reasons for staying alive
Explode into fragments

Dissolve into nothing
As I prepare for the oncoming night
Already I feel a creeping coldness chilling my bones
Dulling my sight and mind
Soon there shall be only sand where once water flowed
Nature dies and is reborn, but I shan't weather this coming storm
Not for me to die with children around my bed
After a happy life
Though rain will fall and the sun won't change in it's course
Its hard to bear but harder still
To tell the one I care for
Please to say love is here today, but it's going away, going away
Millions of people won't know what I mean
None can appreciate somebody else's dream
Thousands of reasons for staying alive
Explode into fragments
Dissolve into nothing
As I prepare for the oncoming night
