Beauty Of A Dream Lyrics by Thomas Dolby

Astronauts & Heretics

1992

[Intro]
The beauty of a dream
Is you don't let it go
[Verse 1]
Once in a while a girl comes along
And opens your heart like a spam tin
Just how long can it take?
A bow bends, a bow breaks
And then when its time to return the key
She'll flash you a smile as she slams the door
But you didn't have to do that to me
To show me just how cruel love could be
And cruel's a show I kinda starred in before
[Chorus]
Listen
These things take time
To reach ground zero
Change hits so hard
When the world turns so slow
These things take time
And next time you'll know
But the beauty of a dream
Is you don't let it go
You don't ever let it go
[Verse 2]
Now how come a hand as gentle as yours
Could soften a hard nut like this one?
It's a marvel to me
The way you wrapped my heart up completely
Whenever I roam I can't seem to find
As decent a love as the one I left behind
Keep it slow, though, for me girl
I never thought I'd sink in this deep
Oh darling, I'm sinking like a bug in a peach
[Chorus]
Listen
These things take time
To reach ground zero (Ooh)
(Oh)
Change hurts so good (So very good)
And the world screams hello (Hello)
These things take time
But this time I know
That the beauty of a dream
Is you don't let it go
You don't ever let it go (Oh, oh, oh)
You don't ever let it go
We won't ever let it go
[Bridge]
And I believe in the promises I made you
(Mmm)
And I mean to keep them over and over and over again
Boom
There's a cannon for the first twenty years
(Mmm)
Boom
There's a cannon for the next
[Outro]
(Ooh, ooh)
It's a marvel to me
I never thought I'd sink in this deep
Oh darling, I'm sinking like a frog on a leaf
