The Lovers Are Losing (Official Music Video)

I dreamed I was drowning

In the river Thames

I dreamed I had nothing at all

Nothing but my own skin

I dreamed I was drifting

On the howling wind

I dreamed I had nothing at all

Nothing but my own skin

Slipped away from your open hand

Into the river

Saw your face looking back at me

I saw my past

And I saw my future

[Chorus]

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have

Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going

You cut them up and spread them out on the floor

You're full of hope as you begin rearranging

Put it all back together

But anyway you look at things and try

The lovers are losing

I dreamed I was watching

A young lover's dance

I reached out to touch your hand

But I was watching from a distance

We cling to love like a skidding car

Clinched to the corner

I try to hold on to what we are

The more I squeeze the quicker we all are

[Chorus]

I dreamed I had nothing at all (nothing but my own skin) [Repeat: x3]

I dreamed I had nothing at all

[Chorus]

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have

Cause you don't like the way they seem to be going

You cut them up and spread them out on the floor

You're full of hope as you begin rearranging

Put it all back together

But in the final reckoning

We're trying

The lovers are losing
