The longest dream Lyrics by Barnes & Barnes

1981

I wish I was away
But there is no way to be found
If you’re confused just take a look at me
My head is in the sky
My heart is in the ground
How can it be so simultaneously certain?
England is so far away
Full of unknown faces
I think about her night & day
All these different places
Sometimes I feel
Like I’m stuck in a dream
The longest dream that’s ever been
And when it’s done it all starts again
The longest dream in history
And when I wake
She’ll be here with me
I climbed a mountain top
And I waited for a word
Yes, I waited for some wisdom from the sky
And when it finally came
This is what I heard
It said, “Life is madness, take it all in stride”
Peace of mind has disappeared
I feel it laughing at me
If my love were with me here
Then I could be happy
Sometimes I feel
Like I’m stuck in a dream
The longest dream that’s ever been
And when it’s done it all starts again
The longest dream in history
And when I wake
She’ll be here with me
Sometimes I feel
Like I’m stuck in a dream
The longest dream that’s ever been
And when it’s done it all starts again
The longest dream in history
And when I wake
She’ll be here with me
The longest dream in history
And when I wake
She’ll be here with me
