I Keep Hoping
( Parfitt / Lancaster )
Down at Backwater junction
Rolling down the line
In the dark early morning
I heard the one-forty-nine
I was walking down the highway
Needed somewhere to go
A lady laid beside me
And she invited me home
She led me cold, tired and hungry
Down the backwater road
In a house on the corner
looking over the track
I woke up with a fever
And a pain in my back
She was lying there beside me
My fever started to grow
Had a funny feeling
But the lady said no
The lover needs a doctor
Down the Backwater Road

The Dreamer
I'm laying in my body
like a death man in a grave
I can only move my eyes
can't speak, can't walk,
can't touch, can't feel
every time I awake
the nightmare is the same
I want to get back to flee this body
when I'm here I'm free
I'm rotting in this bed
the nurse is changing droping bottles
every second hour
I'm trying to stay awake
not to fall back into that paralized
dream body
I can't prevent the nurse
from fetching me back
asking myself why the nurse
keeps on telling me to sleep
while I'm dreaming
if I look into a mirror
I see me looking into a mirror
seeing me
who's dreaming
