[00:21.382] The hourglass never really runs out of sand
[00:25.937] You get to the end and you just turn it upside down again
[00:30.183] It's like a book where the story never ends
[00:34.495] The plot keeps turning around
[00:38.987] I was dancing with my eyes closed
[00:43.548] The music had me in a trance
[00:47.772] Six o'clock in the morning came around
[00:51.599] I was the last one at the dance
[00:56.795] Mornin' takes a stiff upper lip
[01:00.441] A turned-up collar and some very strong hips
[01:05.262] A strong will for when the money slips
[01:08.917] And they ain't calling you a lady now
[01:23.021] A sister told me some time ago
[01:27.242] There's no reward for lost sheep
[01:30.633] You better learn to look sharp
[01:33.598] Keep it in the lines
[01:34.838] Don't go swimming where the river's too deep
[01:40.249] But I knew all along that that just wasn't me
[01:44.049] I was swimming in the river with the ghosts and debris
[01:48.346] Shouldn't a person at least try to be free
[01:51.525] Instead of giving up and just pretending to be?
[01:57.223] The morning leaves you in a strange place
[02:01.668] Dirty mirror and a stranger's face
[02:06.047] Nowhere to run, too late to back out of it
[02:09.928] Might as well stick around and take a crack out of it
[02:32.563] I heard it said many times that life is a dream
[02:36.674] But it ends up dreaming of a crazy machine
[02:40.249] That's been choking out the love
[02:42.844] Killing too many dreamers
[02:44.784] And I just want to tear that old machine down
[02:49.939] Ask me what I would dream of in this place
[02:53.657] I dream of a forest where we could all meet face-to-face
[02:57.830] Where love could be love
[02:59.763] And dreamers could be dreamers
[03:02.750] Dreamers dreaming of love and its many wonders
[03:07.088] Dreamers dreaming of love, one more time now
[03:11.113] Dreamers dreaming of love
