I sat alone with the dreams of children
Weeping willows and tall dark buildings and,
I've caught a vision from the dreams of children,
But woke up sweating to this modern nightmare and,
I was alo - ne, no one was there,
I was alo - ne, no one was

I caught a glimpse from the dreams of children
I got a feeling of optimism
But woke up to a grey and lonely picture
The streets below left me feeling dirty and,
I was alo - ne, no one was there
I was alo - ne, no one was there

I fell in love with the dreams of children
I saw a vision of all the happy days
I've caught up fashion from the dreams of children
But woke up sweating from this modern nightmare and
I was alo - ne, no one was there
