Sad Dreams

I fell asleep in the flowers and the residue
Of a dream that's come to pass like they always do
I ran away with my thoughts down the avenue
I could take it all for granted, I never do

In time, what a wait, what a while
In time, what a wait, what a whimper

How do you know what side you're on
When there's no-one watching?

There came a day when the wild and the wilderness
We're a half forgotten dream, out of service
And who are those who could ask for oblivion?
Who could take it all away and begin again

In time, what a wait, what a while
In time, what a wait, what a whimper

How do you know what side you're on
When your eyes won't open?
And how do you know what side you want
When there's nothing, nowhere?
