Leavin’ for a Dream Lyrics by Heatwave

Central Heating

1978

[Verse 1]
Where in the world around us
Is love without a care?
The kind we used to share
I'm chasing the magic hours
To find what made them blue
I'm leaving for a dream I knew

[Chorus]
Gonna leave all the crowds
Climb through the clouds
And look at life the way we used to do
While I'm high in the sky
Maybe I'll find
That you're dreaming too

[Verse 2]
Is there a happy ending
To all we had before?
A love that seemed so sure
Packed all my misty memories
And hope they'll see me through
I'm leaving for a dream I knew

[Chorus]
Gonna leave all the crowds
Climb through the clouds
And look at life the way we used to do
While I'm high in the sky
Maybe I'll find
That you're dreaming too

[Verse 3]
Is there a happy ending
To all we had before?
A love that seemed so sure
Packed all my misty memories
And hope they'll see me through
I'm leaving for a dream I knew
