Lyrics Nitin Sawhney

Nitin Sawhney

Distant Dreams

This city

Everywhere I go

I see faces I know

All in their different zones

As we’re flying

Through this world underground

And my eyes are wide shut

I’m not hearing a sound

Time standing still

Surrounded by sad hearts unfulfilled

Empty places for the disenchanted

Pass and fade away

Distant dreams

Where I go

Distant dreams

When I’m low

As they echo in my head

Distant dreams

How they flow

Distant dreams

Moving slow

As I’m falling out of time

I still have distant dreams here in my mind

Faces distorted by pressure

Everyone forced together

Spilling out through the doors

No more spaces

It’s a dog-eat-dog world

And a mad free-for-all

Maybe room for one more

Time standing still

Surrounded by sad hearts unfulfilled

Empty places for the disenchanted

Pass and fade away

Distant dreams

Where I go

Distant dreams

When I’m low

As they echo in my head

Distant dreams

How they flow

Distant dreams

Moving slow

As I’m falling out of time

I still have distant dreams here in my mind

Distant dreams

Where I go

Distant dreams

When I’m low

As they echo – echo - in my head

Distant dreams

How they flow

Distant dreams

Moving slow

As heartbreak surrounds me

And heartache has found me

Distant dreams

Where I go

Distant dreams

When I’m low

As they echo in my head

Distant dreams

How they flow

Distant dreams

Moving slow

As I’m falling out of time

I still have distant dreams here in my mind
