Running Out Of Time

Beating time on cardboard boxes

In an attic cold as ice

We were Freddie & The Dreamers

With stars before our eyes

But as we loaded up the Dansette

With a stack of 45's

How could we have known that these were

The best years of our lives

It's so long ago

It seem like an age

Whatever happened to the dream

We didn't wake up suddenly

Reality creeps up from behind

Leaving you running out of time

Bought a ticket at the station

Waved my brother John goodbye

Got the ferry down to Hamburg

Went looking for a life

I began my education

Learned my lessons on the road

Started living for the moment

And following the code

They can't take away

My memories

Whatever happened to the dream

We didn't wake up suddenly

Reality creeps up from behind

Leaving you running out of time

They can't take away

My memories

Whatever happened to the dream

We didn't wake up suddenly

Reality creeps up from behind

Leaving you running out of time
