Half a dream away - Ocean colour scene

{C] [G] [D C] [G] [D C] [G] [D C] [G] [D C]

[G] We're just half a dream aw[D]ay
Sitting on our [C] fences
Building up de[Em]fences
Making up the [G]rules by wich we [D] play [C]
[G] We're just half way down the [D]road
Staking our pos[C]itions
Stupid supersti[Em]tions
Only give f[G]ools too heavy a [D]load

The [C] magpie [G] screeched and the [C] window is s[D]hattered
The [C]fireman [G]tried but the [C] hose was f[D]rozen
Her body's bruised but her soul's not battered
The cupboards bare but the door needs closing

We spend half our time away from being where we want to
And seeing who it's fun to not blaming ourselves for our mistakes
We spend half a dream away looking out of windows
Waiting for a signal waiting for night to turn to day

The tree was bare but the birds were singing
The meat was dead and I need me feeding
The milk turned sour and my thirst needs quenching
The room was cold but the night was freezing

The rainbow frowned when the sun was shining
A baby's snatched on a beautiful morning
A dog runs wild and the breaks are screaming
A church on fire is struck by lightning
The dead man's hands had beautiful fingers
The princess frowned at her lovers mistress
She went insane and poisoned the children
A teacher's drowned and a child is laughing
