I wrote this song years ago late at night somewhere on the Goldhawk Road 
I was never sure how or why 
Before the war and the tidal wave engulfed us all it's true how the world has changed 
And I was learning how to change with you 

We saw the green fields 
Turn into stone 
Such lonely homes 
All in a badman's dream 
He ain't asleep 
It's just a dream 

In the darkest hour the song had gone it passed among the people I hardly knew 
And I was losing it all the time 
But she stayed with me and found me out and above all things I've learnt 
It's that honesty that secures the bond in the heart 

We saw the green fields 
Turn into stone 
Such lonely homes 
All in a badman's dream 
He ain't asleep 
It's just a dream
