I wrote this song
years ago
late at night
somewhere on the Goldhawk Road
I was never sure how or why

Before the war
and the tidal wave
engulfed us all it's true
how the world has changed
And I was learning how to change with you

We saw the green fields
Turn into stone
Such lonely homes
All in a badman's dream
He ain't asleep
It's just a dream

In the darkest hour
the song had gone
it passed among the people
I hardly knew
I was losing it all the time

But she stayed with me
and found me out
and above all things I've learnt
It's that honesty
that secures the bond in the heart

We saw the green fields
Turn into stone
Such lonely homes
All in a badman's dream
He ain't asleep
It's just a dream
