BIG WORDS

(M. Alchin/J.Rothery – 1985 - © Reasonable Songs)

I had the strangest dream last night

And when I opened my eyes I knew the dream was right

There was an answer I’d taken too long finding

I had it all in the palm of my hands

Things didn’t go quite as well as I’d planned

There’s no exception

In this direction I’m in

We are moving in ever smaller circles

Never asking ourselves why

Such big words for such little people

You can almost hear the wheels turn

Such big words for such little people

You can smell them as they burn

Feelings that I can never hide

Are now given up for foolish pride

I’ve waited too long

To right what’s gone wrong

Where is the hope that I had before?

Where are the things that I’ve waited for?

There was a question I’d taken too long asking

We are moving in ever smaller circles

Never asking ourselves why

Such big words for such little people

You can almost hear the wheels turn

Such big words for such little people

You can smell them as they burn

Such big words for such little people

You can almost hear the wheels turn

Such big words for such little people

You can smell them as they burn

I had the strangest dream (big words)

I had the strangest dream last night (big words….little people)

I had the strangest dream (little people….big words)
