I dreamed I was drowning in the river Thames   I dreamed I had nothing at all, nothing but my own skin   I dreamed I was drifting on a howling wind   I dreamed I had nothing at all, nothing but my own skin      Slipped away from your open hands into the river   Saw your face looking back at me   I saw my past and I saw my future      You take the pieces of the dreams that you have   'Cause 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   But anyway you look at things   Looks like the lovers are losing      I dreamed I was watching the young lover's dance   I reached out to touch your hand but I was watching from a distance   We cling to love like a skidding car clings to a corner   I try to hold on to what we are, the more I squeeze the quicker we all are      You take the pieces of the dreams that you have   'Cause 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   But anyway you look at things   Looks like the lovers are losing      I dreamed I had nothing at all, nothing but my own skin   I dreamed I had nothing at all, nothing but my own skin   I dreamed I had nothing at all, nothing but my own skin   I dreamed I had nothing at all      You take the pieces of the dreams that you have   'Cause 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   But anyway you look at things   Looks like the lovers are losing      You take the pieces of the dreams that you have   'Cause 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   But in the final reckoning   Looks like the lovers are losing
