The Lovers Are Losing

I dreamed I was drowning in the river Thames

[03:00.43][02:52.30][00:41.44][00:25.16]I dreamed I had nothing at all, nothing but my own skin

I dreamed I was drifting on a howling wind

Slipped away from your open hands into the river

Saw your face looking back at me

I saw my past and I saw my future

[03:22.95][02:17.26][01:07.93]You take the pieces of the dreams that you have

[03:26.74][02:21.86][01:12.12]'Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going

[03:30.93][02:25.59][01:16.21]You cut them up and spread them out on the floor

[03:34.91][02:29.63][01:20.14]You're full of hope as you begin rearranging

[03:39.04][02:33.71][01:24.32]Put it all back together

[02:37.89][01:28.40]But anyway you look at things

[03:48.22][02:42.87][01:33.25]Looks like the lovers are losing

I dreamed I was watching the young lover's dance

I reached out to touch your hand but I was watching from a distance

We cling to love like a skidding car clings to a corner

I try to hold on to what we are, the more I squeeze the quicker we are over

I dreamed I had nothing at all

But in the final reckoning
