Slow Buildings Vicky's Dream lyrics

She had a dream when she was very little
But she could not foresee the way that it ended
Her love had died and she was left to wander
She ran to heal until something had mended

I carried Vicky down to her shelter,
Had to help her
How I tried to save her
Oh, God knows I tried
Yes I tried

And Vicky knew that it was now or never
Because years can harden a heart cold and angry
She prayed and dove into the icy water
When she had surfaced she was lost in a vast sea

I carried Vicky down to her shelter,
Had to help her
How I tried to save her
Oh, God knows I tried

Yes I tried

Underneath the morning sky where we'd lie
Dream of better, future days,
Well we'd try
But it seems to be the wrong year now

Underneath the moonlit sky where we'd sleep
Dream of better, future days,
We could keep
But this seems to be the wrong year now

And I never got to tell her goodbye
Because we never now the place where we die
And we never know the time
When hello suddenly turns to goodbye
