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...
