In the river Thames

I dreamed I had nothing at all

Nothing but my own skin

Slipped away from your open hands

Into river

I saw my past, and I saw my future

Chorus:

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have

Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going

You cut them up and spread them out on the floor

You're full of hope as you begin rearranging

Put it all back together

Looks like

The lovers are losing

I dreamed I was watching

The young lovers dance

I reached out to touch your hair

But in the final reckoning
