lyrics

A lonely soldier's here on his deathbed
A lonely coward fears for his dying head
The spider crawls inside dens of healing
The tiger's waning pride, all-revealing

Sweet dreams of yesterday
Lonely lives may fade away
Sweet dreams of yesterday
Lonely lives may fade away

The dying soldier sees a life with meaning
The coward finally bears all his feelings
The spider's deadly web keeps pests at bay
The tiger loathes to kill and finds a new way

Sweet dreams of yesterday
Lonely lives may fade away
Sweet dreams I live today
Lonely lives may fade away
And the moment you care
It drifts into air
It fades into rust
And it turns into dust
So why can't you see?
Oh just let it me
The angels are singing
For you and for me

Sweet dreams I live today
Lonely lives may fade away
Sweet dreams I live today
Lonely lives may fade away
And the moment you care
It drifts into air
It fades into rust
And it turns into dust
So why can't you see?
Oh just let it me
The angels are singing
For you and for me

[Lead: Zeza]
