Running Time: 3:04
See the man in the corner of the tap room The froth from the beer is on his lip And the rose-colored weather skin is glowing And the domino is at his finger tip And he prays each night that his family's all right and he's got work See the lollipop lady by the roadside Some days the kids are so hard to control But they bring her lots of presents on her birthday And the little things just make her feel so old And she prays each night that her family's all right and she's got work Strange as it may seem We all pray for simple things Strange to share your dreams Who knows what the price will bring Love and health is all 'til you falter in your steps and fall We all live on dreams See the lad on the Saturday terraces With his collar pulled up around his chin His side is two goals down and playing lousy But his still believes his team are gonna win And he prays each night that his family's all right and he's got work Strange as it may seem We all pray for simple things Strange to share your dreams Who knows what the price will bring Love and health is all 'til you falter in your steps and fall We all live on dreams Strange as it may seem We all pray for simple things Strange to share your dreams Who knows what the price will bring Love and health is all 'til you falter in your steps and fall We all live on dreams
