Lyrics

Dreaming Of Me

Light switch

Man switch

Film was broken only then

All the night

Fused tomorrow

Dancing with a distant friend

Filming and screening

I picture the scene

Filming and dreaming

Dreaming of me

So we left

Understanding

Clean-cut, so we're sounding fast

Talked of sad

I talked of war

I laughed and climbed the rising cast

Filming and screening

I picture the scene

Filming and dreaming

Dreaming of me

Quickly I remembered

Fused and saw a face before

Timing reason

Understanding

Like association hall

Filming and screening

I picture the scene

Filming and dreaming

Dreaming of me

Just dreaming of me

It's only me

Just me
