Lyrics Prefab Sprout

Prefab Sprout

The Dreamer

She told me that she loved me

I heard the Siren sing

Her voice as soft as dead of night

A pillow for a king

She tangled me in starlight

I dangled in each beam

Now I'm just a dreamer

Emerging from a dream

She tangled me in starlight

I dangled in each beam

Now I'm just a dreamer

Emerging from a dream

He promised he'd be faithful

That's what she was told

A ring would guarantee the words

A promise forged in gold

Her dress a silk creation

Her train a mile of cream

Now she's just a dreamer

Emerging from a dream

She tangled in the starlight

She dangled in each beam

Now she's just a dreamer

Emerging from a dream

Where are your dreams

Did they all fade away

Lost in the cold light of day

No one sits in judgment

It's too well worn a theme

No one spots the moment

When the song becomes a scream

We tangle in the starlight

We dangle in each beam

Then become the dreamer

Emerging from a dream

We tangle in the starlight

We dangle in each beam

Then become the dreamer

Emerging from a dream

Where are your dreams

Did they all fade away

Lost in the cold light of day
