about

Graeme Humphreys here.
This song is way too personal to give you any realistic insight to. Musically I wanted to play a trick. Change key without anybody noticing, then create a chorus that could be superimposed over its own verse, without anybody noticing. Each key represents a real person. Enough.

lyrics

Dream, all dreams are free.
But they don't all go as we planned.
I think of you always, can't forget the warm touch of your hand.
I dreamed life babe, followed all the shifts in the sand.
Spoke the same words, that you say.
This end I don't understand.

Stay here with me.
Rest in my arms.
Lay down and sleep.
Stay here with all your qualms.

Now try to explain, why this turns to dust in my hands.
Why it runs like sand through my fingers,
can't retain one grain of sand.

Stay here with me.
Rest in my arms.
Lay down and sleep.
Stay here with all your charms.

I want you too.
Turn to me and say this is not true.
