Dreams in German Lyrics by Toby Martin

Songs from Northam Avenue

2017

The name is Greer
I live here
Have done since '33
The white gates
Where the road runs straight
Just past the KFC
And I started out workin' in the foundry
Making racist little moneyboxes 'fore they phased them out in the seventies
By the time that I turned 40
I was so sick of being dirty
My friends said I was crazy
I was afraid my brain would get lazy
Can't say it was my life's ambition
To sell insurance on commission
A car to pay the way
And even put a bit away
My wife died, 1995
Just a year before I was due to retire
Had a daughter
Wanted a son
That's okay, the Lord blessed us with one
Last night I dreamed
That she was still alive
She just left without saying goodbye
I was driving
Looking for a park
When I saw her loading groceries into a car
And I planned to demand
Why she had left us for this other man
Then I just woke up to the moonlight on my pillow
The cat jumped off the bed
I got up to follow
I pushed the door aside, took a step outside
And I breathed deep of the garden
Bits of myrtle leaves and jasmine
Ooh...
Ooh...
Ooh...
Ooh...
