Futures And Pasts [l] Lyrics - Fall

I was in a sleeping dream 

When a policeman brought my mother home 

By the window I didn't scream 

I was too old for that 

I was in a drunken dream 

The pubs were closed 

It was three o'clock 

At the bottom of the street it seemed 

There was a policeman lost in the fog 

I understand but I don't see it 

I understand but I don't see it 

I understand but I don't read it 

Futures and Pasts 

You can cry for your lost childhood 

Will you cry for our lost childhoods? 

But remember how you hated it 

And worse cause you couldn't state it? 

And it's time for the note, see it 

And it's time for the note, say it 

And it's time for the note, read it 

Futures and Pasts 

Look at the woman of thirty-nine 

Look at the man of forty-nine 

You can read their lousy lives 

You can see their ugly face lines 

They understand but they don't see it 

They understand but they don't see it 

I understand but I don't read it 

Futures and Pasts 

I understand but I don't see it 

I understand but I don't see it 

I understand but I don't read it 

Futures and Pasts
