lyrics

We are a long way from the ocean now
It was in the back streets near the train station
two men rolling dice for a women
Oh they weren't wrong
they weren't wrong

The rain falls on the tin roof
I am in the city and I am seeing everything
Oh you are asleep and this is a dream
Oh you are asleep and this is a dream
Oh this is a dream
This is a dream

She walks through deserted back streets
Under a wide roof two bodies asleep under raincoats
Where is the money
why did you bring him so late
Where is the money
why did you bring him so late
Oh you are asleep and this is a dream
Oh you are asleep and this is a dream
and this is a dream

People crowd around him
someone is giving out food
time passes, one hour, and then two
the rain starts up
and the sky grows lighter
it is almost morning
the souls down here they go to heaven too
the souls down here they go to heaven too

There are two policemen
they hide from the rain
you go back to sleep
this is just a dream
you go back to sleep
and this is just a dream
you go back to sleep
and this is just a dream
this is just a dream
