Lyrics
City Streets will make you blind
Will make you old before your time
Some men work and break their backs
Some lives pass and leave no tracks
In a dream...
I have no regrets
In a dream...
One remembers
And one forgets
See the children home from school
Who the hero and who the fool?
Who will falter, whoo will strice?
Who will manage just to survive
Chorus
Bridge:
A dream is a mist that settles over you
Full of radiant gold and luxurient blue
A present thunder and a far away cry
A look of wonder and a tear in your eye
There's fire in the desert,
there's a flood on the plain
There's a frost in the meadfow
There's a cooldriving rain
There's smoke in the city
There's fear in the land
There's a hope of redemption
In the palm of your hand...
There's a hope of redemption
In the palm of your hand
In a dream I followed you
And spoke the words that I hoped were true
Words I hoped would make you see
That brother you had nothing to prove to me
Chorus
