Slow Buildings - Vicky's Dream Lyrics
She had a dream when she was very littleBut she could not foresee the way that it endedHer love had died and she was left to wanderShe ran to heal until something had mendedI carried Vicky down to her shelter,Had to help herHow I tried to save herOh, God knows I triedYes I triedAnd Vicky knew that it was now or neverBecause years can harden a heart cold and angryShe prayed and dove into the icy waterWhen she had surfaced she was lost in a vast seaI carried Vicky down to her shelter,Had to help herHow I tried to save herOh, God knows I triedYes I triedUnderneath the morning sky where we’d lieDream of better, future days,Well we’d tryBut it seems to be the wrong year nowUnderneath the moonlit sky where we’d sleepDream of better, future days,We could keepBut this seems to be the wrong year nowAnd I never got to tell her goodbyeBecause we never now the place where we dieAnd we never know the timeWhen hello suddenly turns to goodbye
