KITCHEN STORIES: 03. What's Wrong With Dreamin'  (carol laula)

WEE BOY WONDERS WHERE HIS DADDY’S AT
MAMA CRIES HERSELF TO SLEEP
IT WONT BE LONG NOW THAT HIS BAGS ARE BACK
I HOPE HIS SHOES WILL FIT MY FEET

MAMA’S YELLING ‘HE’S NOT COMING BACK’

WHAT’S WRONG WITH DREAMING?
WHERE’S THE HARM IN THAT?
BEEN ROUND THE HOUSES SCREAMING
AND CALLING YOUR NAME

WEE GIRL LOOKING OUT HER TV CLOTHES
HER REFLECTION SINGS THE SONG
PACKS HER BAGS UP WITH HER HEART AND SOUL
BUT SHE WONT BE GONE FOR LONG

SIMON TELLS HER ‘SHE’S NOT COMING BACK’

WHAT’S WRONG WITH DREAMING?
WHERE’S THE HARM IN THAT?
BEEN ROUND THE HOUSES SCREAMING
AND CALLING YOUR NAME

DON’T STEAL MY THUNDER
IT WAS NEVER YOURS TO TAKE
AND WHEN MY DREAMS ASUNDER
IT WAS ONLY MINE TO BREAK

THE WOMAN TAKES ANOTHER CIGARETTE
THE ICE BURNS COLD AGAINST HER FACE
IT DOESN’T SEEM THAT LONG SINCE THEY WERE CHASIN’ RAINBOWS
WHERE DID THAT NIGHT GO WITH HER GRACE?

WHAT’S WRONG WITH DREAMING?
WHERE’S THE HARM IN THAT?
BEEN ROUND THE HOUSES SCREAMING
AND CALLING YOUR NAME
