We Dream In Color

(album: Love Among The Cannibals - 1989)

(Wake up, wake up, wake up, time to dream)

(Wake up, time to dream)

We dream, we dream, we dream in color

Wake me up in the middle of the night, tell me what you've seen
Ivory clouds in a sea of blue, fields of endless green
But we lie here and we search for stars
Or big bad letters all the way from Mars
The sky is black and the moon is pale, and we cry for this world of ours

In the dark we still believe (Oh you know that we still believe)
In the dark we see

We dream in color but we live in black and white
We dream in color like a rainbow in the night
We dream of peace, we dream of love, but still the dream is not enough
We dream in color

Oh yes we dream

I wake up in the middle of the day, locked within this cell
The sun is weak on the gun gray street, a cold and concrete hell
So I close my eyes and remember the days
Of a blood red sky and a purple haze
The flag was yours and the flag was mine, but we let it fade away

In the dark we still believe (Oh you know that we still believe)
In the dark we see

We dream in color but we live in black and white
We dream in color like a rainbow in the night
We dream of peace, we dream of love, but still the dream is not enough
We dream in color

This is where it all comes down, this is where the truth is found
Someone's gotta keep this dream alive

We dream in color but we live in black and white
We dream in color like a rainbow in the night
We dream of peace, we dream of love, we dream of life!
We dream in color

We dream in color we dream, yes we dream
We dream in color but we live in black and white
We dream in color and hold on to each other
We dream in color lover to lover, sister to brother, we hold on

We dream in color
We dream in color we dream
We dream in color we dream...
