You're full of hope as you begin rearranging.

I dreamed I was drowning 

In the river Thames 

I dreamed I had nothing at all 

Nothing but my own skin 

I dreamed I was drifting 

On the howling wind 

I dreamed I had nothing at all 

Nothing but my own skin 

Slipped away from your open hand 

Into the river 

Saw your face looking back at me 

I saw my past 

And I saw my future 

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have 

'Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going 

You cut them up and spread them out on the floor 

You're full of hope as you begin rearranging 

Put it all back together 

But anyway you look at things 

Looks like 

The lovers are losing 

I dreamed I was watching 

A 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 

Clinched to the corner 

I try to hold on to what we are 

The more I squeeze the quicker we all are 

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have 

'Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going 

You cut them up and spread them out on the floor 

You're full of hope as you begin rearranging 

Put it all back together 

But anyway you look at things 

Looks like 

The lovers are losing 

I dreamed I had nothing at all (nothing but my own skin) 

I dreamed I had nothing at all (nothing but my own skin) 

I dreamed I had nothing at all (nothing nut my own skin) 

I dreamed I had nothing at all 

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have 

'Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going 

You cut them up and spread them out on the floor 

You're full of hope as you begin rearranging 

Put it all back together 

But anyway you look at things 

Looks like 

The lovers are losing 

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have 

'Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going 

You cut them up and spread them out on the floor 

You're full of hope as you begin rearranging 

Put it all back together 

But in the final reckoning 

Looks like 

The lovers are losing
