Lyrics Roger Hodgson

Roger Hodgson

Had A Dream (Sleeping With The Enemy)

Had a dream

I was born to be naked in the eye of the storm

and now it's standing right in front of me

what's it going to do to me, who knows

Had a dream

it was time to be taken to the front of the line

well that is not a place you wanna be

sleeping with the enemy, you know.

I don't care what the future brings

give a damn about anything

I'd be fine if they'd just leave me alone

But it's time, gotta take a stance

'cause I won't get a second chance

And I know now I have to make it alone

Had a dream it was war

and they couldn't tell me what it was for

but it was something they could lie about

something we could die about, you know

Anytime, anyplace when you look that man in the face

Well it is not a face you wanna see

sleeping with the enemy, you know

Mary, can you hear me

can you tell me what it's all supposed to mean

holding out a photograph of all that I have seen

I wish I could hold you, I wish I could hold you

Had a dream

it was time to be a witness at the scene of the crime

Well that is something you can analyze

something you can criticize, who knows

So we wait, hesitate and we're making such a mistake

Oh whatever can the matter be

sleeping with the enemy you know
