Lyrics

I had a dream, I was at the fairground
Riding the waltzers with nothing to lose
And she was there a carousel cinderella
Telling the fortunes, the fortunes of fools
And i stared at her like a starving beggar
Would stare at a feast of food
But when I awoke
All i remembered
Was her beauty and her red velvet shoes

I'm a wave on an ocean
In search of a beach
And I thought, I thought I could catch her
She remained out of reach

I took a walk through the hall of mirrors
She was everywhere but nowhere at all
As I grew smaller, she became bigger
But I wasn't scared I recall
And I longed for her like a word dry writer
Would long for his very own muse
But when I awoke
All i remembered
Was her beauty and her red velvet shoes

I'm a wave on an ocean
In search of a beach
I thought I could catch her
She remained out of reach

I'm on a tube from Waterloo Station
In the Piccadilly Circus show
And i stare at my feet on the Bakerloo Line
Coz my dreams have nowhere to go
Then I glance up and see her as she leaves the train
Like a thief leaving too many clues
But when I awoke
All i remembered
Was her beauty and her red velvet shoes
But then I awake
And all i remember
Is her beauty and her red velvet shoes
