Had A Dream (sleeping With The Enemy)

Roger Hodgson

Had a dream, I was born to be naked in the eye of the storm


and now it's standing right in front of me


what's it going to do to me, who knows


Had a dream, it was time to be taken to the front of the line


well that is not a place you wanna be


sleeping with the enemy, you know.





Chorus:


I don't care what the future brings, give a damn about anything


I'd be fine if they'd just leave me alone


But it's time, gotta take a stance 'cause I won't get a second chance


And I know now I have to make it alone





Had a dream it was war, and they couldn't tell me what it was for


but it was something they could lie about, something we could die about, you know


Anytime, anyplace when you look that man in the face


Well it is not a face you wanna see, sleeping with the enemy, you know





Mary, can you hear me, can you tell me what it's all supposed to mean


holding out a photograph of all that I have seen


I wish I could hold you, I wish I could hold you





Had a dream, it was time to be a witness at the scene of the crime


Well that is something you can analyze, something you can criticize, who knows


So we wait, hesitate and we're making such a mistake


Oh whatever can the matter be, sleeping with the enemy you know
