Chris De Burgh Sight and Touch lyrics

My girl wakes in her bed of night
Dressed in silver and dressed in white
She says she's having the strangest dreams
Of another time and century

And now she speaks of a far-off place
A woman and a man are in a deep embrace
Don't they know it's against the law
Well it must have been before the war
Long before it was

Real love and devotion with sight and touch
Real love and emotion with sight and touch
Real love and devotion before the modern world

She hears voices in her mind
Talking of another world lost in time
Before they took away the words
That told us how we used to be
Our history words of


Real love and devotion with sight and touch
Real love and emotion with sight and touch
Real love and devotion before the modern world

And now we live in a two by four
Never going outside through the door
They're watching us on the video-line
But we sit and wait until the night
And in the night we have

Sweet love and devotion with sight and touch
Real love and emotion with sight and touch
Sweet love and devotion in such a modern world

We're never going to be lonely with sight and touch
We're never going to be lonely with sight and touch
We're never going to be lonely in such a modern world
