Lyrics

I Had a Dream She Took My Hand

I had a dream she took my hand
It was only a dream

I had a dream she took my hand
I feel higher than storms, lighter than sand (it was only a dream)
I had a dream she took my hand
Deeper than whirlpools but safer than land

Oh, this is love
Let's stay up
Can we stay here?
She didn't know

I had a dream she took my hand
I heard my call to the Titanic band
Playing them out, miles from land
Nothing left to do but grip on that hand

Oh, this is love (this is)
Let's stay up
Can we stay here?
She didn't know

Oh, I had a dream she took my hand
She began to dissolve along with her soul
I couldn't remember her face, rеmember her namе
As I was losing control, she motioned to stay, oh

Let's go, let's go, let's go, le-
Let's go, let's go, let's go, le-
Let's go, last call, last call, le-
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go

(I had a dream)
Come back (she took my hand)
Come back, hm, come back (it was only a dream), ah
I just wanna know (I had a dream)
What it means
I just wanna know (it was only a dream)
