BUT A DREAM
(music and lyrics by Karsten Schwardt)
© 2013 Tunnel Audio

gently down the stream
to a place I’ve never been
life is but a dream
you can colour it all in

slowly through the woods
down a path that’s rarely understood
life’s just an idea
so is everything around here

we harbour these dreams
and carry them out only so far
these black and white schemes
we colour them in only so far
and we may end up unredeemed
or so it seems

many roads in this town
just seem to carry you round and round
not a place to be found
not a place to conquer new ground

up up to the skies
through clouds that smell of vanilla ice
death is but a lie
silver linings of your life

we harbour these dreams
and carry them out only so far
these black and white schemes
we colour them in only so far
and we may end up unredeemed
or so it seems
