Lyrics:John Helmer Music:Marillion When we were young we used to say Things would be different One fine day The walls would crumble Nations sing as one We live in hope, &cause so far It hasn't come Listenin' to the pouring rain Waiting for the world to change Beginning to wonder if we'll wait in vain For one fine day Oh, how years change the things for which we strive A better world.. or just a quiet life What seemed so simple Is still so far away Don't hold you breath waitin For one fine day Listenin' to the pouring rain Waiting for the world to change Beginning to wonder if we'll wait in vain For one fine day Life is strange It can seem you're high and dry Turn around You find there's nothing in this world you recognise Did we fall asleep babe? Dreaming that dream babe? Listenin' to the pouring rain... Did we fall asleep babe? Dreaming that dream babe?
