Dreamers Lyrics
Jack Savoretti
Lyrics
There was a time and place not far from here and now
Maybe a brighter day
Maybe they had it made somehow
Living for there and then under a psychadelic spell
No one was listening still they had so much to tell
Whatever happened to the dreamers that always look beyond the sky
Saw a world they could believe in but only when they close their eyes
Mmm
Yeah
Yeah
They were the politcians
Men of the cloth
Painters and poets
Starting a revolution without even knowing it
Making the world around us
Making heaven and hell
Saying so much about us
Still they had so much to tell
Whatever happened to the dreamers that always look beyond the sky
Saw a world they could believe in but only when they close their eyes
Where are they now
They've all left town
Bringing the clouds
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Ooh
Yeah
Whatever happened to the dreamers that always look beyond the sky
Saw a world they could believe in but only when they close their eyes
But only when they close their eyes
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
La la la la la
Why are we on our own
Why are we on our own
Nothing's ever been this way before
A dream is just a dream and nothing more
Nothing's ever been this way before
A dream is just a dream and nothing more
