about

Written by annA rydeR in August 1994

lyrics

You're a child lying in your bed
With thoughts flying round in your head
Then the homely sound of a distant train
Or the humming of an aeroplane
Or the sweeping of a passing car
Makes you feel that you really are safe
You're secure

Then you hear people talking downstairs
You don't feel worried and you don't feel scared
You hear the sound of the telephone
Somebody answers and you know you're not alone

NOW YOU'RE SLIDING, SLIDING, SLIDING INTO A DREAM
AND YOU'RE FLYING, FLYING TO A PLACE YOU WANT TO BE
In your dreams

Now I'm here lying in my bed
And thoughts of you run in my head
It's dark and starry outside
And I turn over and I close my eyes
And I wish that you were here right now
Although I feel that you are with me somehow
And I know I'm alright tonight

Then I hear someone shouting in the street
And the sound of homeward walking feet
A late night TV show
Strays into my ears as off to sleep I go

NOW I'M SLIDING, SLIDING, SLIDING INTO A DREAM
AND I'M FLYING, FLYING TO A PLACE I WANT TO BE
AND I'M THINKING OF YOU, THINKING OF YOU
ARE YOU THINKING OF ME, THINKING OF ME

Now I've always loved the railway line
The sound takes me home, it takes me back in time
And it travels with me wherever I go
It comforts me to know
People out there are moving around
There are things going on and there's life in sound
And it makes me lay my troubles aside, lay my troubles aside

And I wonder if you can hear me
Are my dreams reaching you - maybe
Can you hear them floating across to you
And can you catch them 'cos I want you to

AND I'M SLIDING, SLIDING.......

'Cos I'm thinking of you, are you thinking of me, I'm thinking of you...
