Dreamtime in Glasgow

I can’t begin to tell you

What is in my mind

So here I sit since last October

Sometimes I feel as if that I am mocking time

I’m doing my best at staying sober

And if you were to say to me

What is it that you want to be

I surely don’t know

And if I seem a little slow

It’s only dreamtime in Glasgow

I’d love to sit and talk

There’s a lot I have to know

But I can’t stay here and be happy

I’ll buy you one drink my friend and then I have to go

For I have a wife and family

But I had to stop on my way home

To dream of places that I’ll never roam

But meanwhile today

It is here that I will stay

Doing dreamtime in Glasgow

I still believe

I dreamt I was drowning in the Clyde

I fell off the docks and into the rising tide

But then I realized

As I opened up my eyes

It’s only dreamtime in Glasgow
