Lyrics
[Verse 1] Was she never there? Was she ever? Was it air she breathed? At the wrong time All the flowers so From the gallery With the hymns of night Singing: "Come to me" [Chorus] At the wrong time On the wrong day All the lights are fading now If I'm dreaming all my life [Verse 2] Just one living chance When the mother sighs When the father steps aside At the wrong time Was she never there? Was she ever? Was it air she breathed? [Chorus] At the wrong time On the wrong day All the lights are fading now If I'm dreaming all my life If I'm dreaming all my life [Bridge] Was she ever? Was she ever here? If I'm dreaming all my life If I'm dreaming all my life away [Outro] Dreaming my life Dreaming my Dreaming my Dreaming my Dreaming my life Dreaming my life away Dreaming my life Dreaming my Dreaming my life away Dreaming my life Dreaming my Dreaming my life away Dreaming my life Dreaming my Dreaming my life away
