 We're just half a dream away
 Sitting on our fences
 Building up defences
 Making up the rules by wich we play
 We're just half way down the road
 Staking our positions
 Stupid superstitions
Only give fools to heavy a load

 The magpie screeched and the window is shattered
 Her body's bruised but her soul's not battered
 The fireman tried but the hose was frozen
 The cupboards bare but the door needs closing
Chorus is played:

 We spend half our time away
 >From being where we want to
 And seeing who it's fun to
 Not blaming ourselves for our mistakes
 We spend half a dream away
 Looking out of windows
 Waiting for a signal
 Waiting for night to turn to day

 The tree was bare but the birds were singing
 The milk turned sour and my thirst needs quenching
 The meat was dead and I need me feeding
 The room was cold but the night was freezing
 Chorus 2 is played:
A-----------------------------------------|
E-8-8-7---7h8p7-5---3-2---8-8-7---7h8p7-5-| x2
 Chorus 3 & 4:
 The rainbow frowned when the sun was shining
 A baby's snatched on a beautiful morning
 A dog runs wild and the breaks are screaming
 A church on fire is struck by lightning
 The dead man's hands had beautiful fingers
 The princess frowned at her lovers mistress
 She went insane and poisoned the children
 A teacher's drowned and a child is laughing
 Chorus 3 & 4 is played:
A-----------------------------------------|
E-8-8-7---7h8p7-5---3-2---8-8-7---7h8p7-5-| x4
 Fade-out:
 We're just half a dream away x4
 Mysterious part
