I've been longing for far too long for a harbour song
and I've been skating between the bars and mapping the stars
The dream is: Together we dream,
forever we beam
but all my dreams have long been bought and sold
and my longing can only love what it cannot hold
So I will write my own song
noone else will have to sing along
I'll just lay down some unseasonal harmonies
and then think up some unreasonable melodies
I will write my own tune,
noone else will have to sing to
when I'll be dancing in the morning sun
and in his light I'll find
my time has just begun
I was sitting on my own by the canal
paper and pen in hand
Yes I waited til I forgot my name
but he never came
The dream is: Together we dream,
forever we beam
but all my dreams have long been bought and sold
and my longing can only love what it cannot hold
So I will write my own song
noone else will have to sing along
I'll just lay down some unseasonal harmonies
and then think up some unreasonable melodies
I will write my own tune,
noone else will have to sing to
when I'll be dancing in the morning sun
and in his light I'll find
my time has just begun
Come on let's write a new song
we'll just make up the words as we're going
and find a new melody, that sounds brave and sounds sweet
and all the tears and the laughter will be free to be
