Put me on an aeroplane

A million miles away

She's opened up her book of hate

And tore a brand new page



Tonight I'll find a wishing well

Tomorrow's a new day

Tonight I'll find a wishing well before it's too late



Show me the way

Show me the way

Why do my dreams keep slipping away?

Show me the way

Show me the way

Spent a whole lifetime running away



She questioned my ability

To learn from my mistakes

I said she'd need a guillotine

To put me in my place



Tonight I'll write my eulogy

Before I fade away

Tonight I'll write my eulogy so don't be afraid



Show me the way

Show me the way

Why do my dreams keep slipping away?

Show me the way

Show me the way

Spent a whole lifetime running away



And every time I close my eyes, I've lost another day

Show me the way

Show me the way

Why do my dreams keep slipping away?



The waves came crashing down so fast

And when the storm was over the sky turned black

And now I pray for sunshine

I pray for sunshine

I pray you'll help me to escape



Show me the way

Show me the way

Why do my dreams keep slipping away?

Show me the way

Show me the way

Spent a whole lifetime running away



And every time I close my eyes, I've lost another day

Show me the way

Show me the way

Why do my dreams keep slipping away?



Every time we close our eyes, we've lost another day

Every time we close our eyes, our dreams will have to wait
