Distant Dreams - Nitin Sawhney

This city, everywhere I go, I see faces I know

All in their different zones

As we’re flying through this world underground

And my eyes are wide shut, I’m not hearing a sound

Time standing still

Surrounded by sad hearts unfulfilled

Empty places for the disenchanted

Pass and fade away

Distant dreams, where I go Distant dreams, when I’m low

As they echo in my head

Distant dreams, how they flow

Distant dreams, moving slow

As I’m falling out of time

I still have distant dreams here in my mind

Faces distorted by pressure

Everyone forced together

Spilling out through the doors

No more spaces

It’s a dog-eat-dog world

And a mad free-for-all

Maybe room for one more

Time standing still

Surrounded by sad hearts unfulfilled

Empty places for the disenchanted

Pass and fade away

Distant dreams, where I go Distant dreams, when I’m low

As they echo in my head

Distant dreams, how they flow

Distant dreams, moving slow

As I’m falling out of time

I still have distant dreams here in my mind

Distant dreams, where I go Distant dreams, when I’m low

As they echo, echo in my head

Distant dreams, how they flow

Distant dreams, moving slow

As heartbreak surrounds me And heartache has found me Distant dreams, where I go Distant dreams, when I’m low

As they echo in my head

Distant dreams, how they flow

Distant dreams, moving slow

As I’m falling out of time

I still have distant dreams here in my mind
