Lyrics
Steady on,
Catch your breath,
Take some time, son.
Cast your mind to your past,
To some forgotten day,
When love sung like a lark,
With the sheer euphony of a skilled balladeer,
You got lost.
You were always the delicate sort.
A head crammed like a vagabond's cart,
Where each thought is a squall in a gale,
And the glazed focal point of your eyes slips away in a daze,
Oh dreamer, you.
From each chamber,
The thud from your heaving heart could shake architecture.
The evening departs with a sigh,
Take no heed of the night,
And stitch your dreams by its hushed moonlight.
Hey nature boy,
Get a written receipt for the cost of your love and the sum of your grief.
But you know you feel things,
It's just the way you were shaped,
And recognise it's this love that will save you someday,
Oh dreamer, you.
From each chamber,
The thud from your heaving heart could shake architecture.
The evening departs with a sigh,
Take no heed of the night,
And stitch your dreams by its hushed moonlight.
And take a walk,
Plot your course through these sleeping avenues.
Midnight booze,
And the call of the wild,
The merry souls in all choral delight,
Echoes out in the big city night.
Go weave your dreams into the hushed moonlight.
