The Dreams Lyrics - Peter Mulvey

Inside the tunnels, the stone tunnels, are the trains 

And inside the trains, the steel trains, are the bags of skin 

And inside the thin skin are the blood and the bones 

And inside the blood and the bones are the dreams 

It really is that simple, it really is that fragile 

I am one such dream inside the blood and the bones and the bags and the 

trains and the tunnels 

There's a dream sitting next to me 

There's a dream across from me 

Fragile 

We all know that one day 

The tunnels will crumble and the trains will stop 

And the blood and the bags and the bones will be gone 

And in between now and then something will happen to all the dreams 

I don't know what will happen to the other dreams 

But I know what will happen to me 

Sure as rain, I know, sure as winter 

I'll breathe and grieve and struggle and strive and love, love 

And if I'm lucky once, just once, the dream will drop to the floor like a vase 

and shatter in shards of silence 

Where I will see, I will see in the pattern of the pieces, I will 

See something
