The light in the window fades away
The colours recede to shades of grey
Sketching the outlines of a dream
Somewhere between waking and sleeping
But I'm lying awake at the end of the day and reliving the past
And this lingering wish is a slippery fish that I cannot grasp
The dream is gone
The glow of a phosphorescent sky
Lit up by a thousand fireflies
You wanted a living souvenir
But as you approached they disappeared
And you gave it away for a dollar a day
And you left me behind
And you traded it all for a hole in the wall
Where the sun never shines
And I'm lying awake at the end of the day
And reliving the past
But this lingering wish is a slippery fish
That eludes my grasp
The dream is gone
The dream is gone
But the longer you wait and you procrastinate
The more you waste away
All the colours you see all the bright scenery
Are nothing but paper mashe
And I'm lying awake at the end of the day
And reliving the past
But this lingering wish is a slippery fish
That eludes my grasp
The dream is gone
The dream is gone
The dream is gone
The dream is gone
