Thomas Dolby - Beauty Of A Dream lyrics

The beauty of a dream is you don't let it go, You don't ever let it go. Once in a while a girl comes along And opens your heart like a spam tin Just how long can it take? A bow bends, a bow breaks And then when its time to return the key She'll flash you a smile as she slams the door But you didn't have to do that to me To show me just how cruel love could be And cruel's a show I kinda starred in before. Listen: these things take time to reach ground zero Change hits so HARD and the world turns so slow These things take time and next time you'll know But the beauty of a dream is you don't let it go, You don't ever let it go. Now how come a hand as gentle as yours Could soften a hard nut like this one? It's a marvel to me The way you wrapped my heart up completely Whenever I roam I can't seem to find As decent a love as the one I left behind Keep it slow, though, for me girl I never thought I'd sink in this deep Oh darling, I'm sinking like a bug in a peach. Listen: these things take time to reach ground zero Change hurts so good and the world screams hello These things take time but this time I know But the beauty of a dream is you don't let it go, You don't ever let it go. You don't ever let it go. We won't ever let it go. And I believe in the promises I made you And I mean to keep them over and over and over again Boom! there's a cannon for the first twenty years Boom! there's a cannon for the next. It's a marvel to me I never thought I'd sink in this deep Oh darling, I'm sinking like a frog on a leaf
