fin-de-siècle - Bring Back The Dream

In an unlighted room over dark city streets
Sits a man who’s life is an endless repeat
His life has gone by, and where has it gone
Bitter sweet love that is no longer around
He remembers his lover in the dark of the night
The joy they shared and the bitter fights
And he recalls how he went back to his place
she made up her mind to go away

Bring back the dream
Bring back the dream
Bring back the dream
Bring back the dream

He walks through New York looking down at the ground
ignoring the people, ignoring the sounds
At Battery Park he looks out at the bay,
hoping to find some kind of escape
He looks at the water and he wants to die
it’s cold, cold depths seem lie a warm place to lie
But he lacks the courage to end his life
so all he can do is stand and cry

Bring back the dream
Bring back the dream
Bring back the dream
Bring back the dream

(Solo)

Bring back the dream
Bring back the dream
Bring back the dream
Bring back the dream

As darkness falls over Battery Park
he walks back home through the noise of New York
Back to a place that's no longer a home
A city of people, but he's all alone
So the loves that we have are now in the past
even the one's that we thought would last
No matter how deep, how real they seem
They all soon become a fading dream

Bring back the dream
Bring back the dream
Bring back the dream
Bring back the dream
