Urban Dream
Tony Woodward 1946 (Cheshire)
Am I awake or am I asleep
Is this reality or illusion
Am I alone in the center
Or Am I surrounded by love
Will I be here tomorrow
In this urban dream
I am rich and I am poor
Do I still own my own mind
How long will it take for the dream to unwind
How long will it take to be truly awake
Sighs in the night no other sound
But the sound of my own restless breathing
Living the urban myth so high on the skyline
Treading a fine line, treading a fine line.
