An Occasional Dream
David Bowie
[Intro] A7 A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 [Verse] I recall how we lived On the corner of a bed And we’d speak of a Swedish room Of hessian and wood And we’d talk with our eyes Of the sweetness in our lives And tomorrows of rich surprise Some things we could do [Chorus] In our madness we burnt one hundred days Time takes time to pass And I still hold some ashes to me An occasional dream [Bridge] A7 A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 [Verse] And we’d sleep oh so close But not really close our eyes ’Tween the sheets of summer bathed in blue Gently weeping nights It was long long ago And I still can’t touch your name For the days of fate were strong for you Danced you far from me [Outro] In my madness I see your face in mine I keep a photograph it burns my wall with time Time an occasional dream Of mine an occasional dream Of mine an occasional dream of mine
