lyrics

Perpetual Motion Machines

I once had a marvellous dream,
to build my own perpetual motion machine
It would dance all around
make the strangest of sounds
In my head

Many more years have now passed
I'm sitting at home looking at
perpetual motion machines dancing round our big bed

What have we done? I said
You just smile instead

Who would ever believe (we did it now)
That dreams come true?
Just me and you

I once had a marvellous dream
to build my own ark in a freshwater stream
that would carry both sides of my Gemini heart to the sea

Many more years are now gone
And instead of an ark I set sail in a song
And the floodwaters rushed from your heart and they lifted me high

When will this end? I cried
You just turned to me and smiled

Who would ever believe (we did it now)
That dreams come true?
Just me and you

I once had a marvellous dream
