B                     C#m

I sat alone with the dreams of children

B                    C#m    

Weeping willows and tall dark buildings and,

B                              C#m

I've caught a vision from the dreams of children,

B                             C#m

But woke up sweating to this modern nightmare and,

B        C#m B   E      C#m

I was alo - ne, no one was there,

B        C#m B   E          

I was alo - ne, no one was

B                            C#m

I caught a glimpse from the dreams of children

B                   C#m

I got a feeling of optimism

B                          C#m

But woke up to a grey and lonely picture

B                          C#m

The streets below left me feeling dirty and,

B        C#m B   E      C#m

I was alo - ne, no one was there

B        C#m B   E

I was alo - ne, no one was there
