Dreams are like children, close your eyes and they're not there
You hear them laughing on empty streets and garden squares
We walked so slowly, then suddenly you cried "I've given up! I've given up!"
"I've been undone by London, London and a lack of love.

Dreams are like fireflies, floating in a sapphire sky
You try and catch them, but find when you do, their fire dies
We walked so slowly, then said "I've finally realized enough's enough! Enough's enough!"
"I've been undone by London, London and a lack of love."

It could be so easy
It could be so easy
It could be so easy, we could all just work it out (all just work it out)
It could be so easy
It should be so easy

Dreams are like lullabies, a mother's voice when you were young
A cherished photograph fading in the summer sun
We're raising hawks when we could be raising doves (woah)
"I've been undone by London, London and a lack of love."

It could be so easy
It could be so easy
It could be so easy, we could all just work it out (all just work it out)
It could be so easy
It should be so easy
