Mother’s
drink is in her handbag
she
sleeps most of the day
her
dog barks at the freeway
as
the
uptown drives away
from
their offices and dietaries
to
their
homes upon the hill
the
rain beats on their window
now
that time is standing still
For all
the tea in china
would
not move away
but
for a little sunshine
I
find
the time of day
this
moment isn’t moving
this
moment’s here to stay
and
there’s nothing wrong with dreaming
this
moment is ok
Dad sits
down in his armchair
watching
spiders on the floor
making
bets with one another
who’ll
be the first to walk out the door
it’s
a palace of distinction
why
ain’t it home to me?
where
the sun comes up in the darkness
where
the drinking sets me free
For all
the tea in china
would
not move away
but
for a little sunshine
I
find
the time of day
this
moment isn’t moving
this
moment’s here to stay
and
there’s nothing wrong with dreaming
this
moment is ok
And I
thought I saw an angel
and
it tapped upon my shoulder
and
I wasn’t ready for the answers yet, oh no
but
I knew that it was over
its
time to move along
now
the past is never gone
And there’s
nothing wrong with dreaming
this
moment is ok yeah
ohhh
and there’s nothing wrong with dreaming
this
moment is ok
live:
Settled
in my daydream
my
time
was made of gold,
where
the roses grow in stairswalls
from
every breath that you hold
The
truth is in this wakening
the
sadness of this heart,
where
the families live together
like
the fingers of a spark
There’s
nothing wrong with dreaming.....yeah yeah yeah
there’s
nothing wrong with dreaming
this
moment's here to stay
there’s
nothing wrong with dreaming.....no no no
there’s
nothing wrong with dreaming
this
moment is ok!
