I, I once had a dream, but now it seems I only dream when I'm sleeping I, I once had a nightmare, they took it away And they left a hole there And now, sometimes I just don't know what to do with it So I tend to leave it lying around And people keep falling into it I, I once had a dream, but now it seems I only dream when I'm sleeping I, I once had a nightmare, they took it away And they left a hole there Inside, you'll find it's dark and it's deep You can't climb out, 'cause the sides are too steep There's no point in having a scream and a shout 'Cause they only let the nice people out I, I once had a dream, but now it seems I only dream when I'm sleeping I, I once had a nightmare, they took it away And they left a hole there
