lyrics

On every coat hanger every stitch plays its part
Each costume I wore, each scene its own prize
The lightest of sleepers with the heaviest heart
The first shards of sun dance on my weary eyes

I've dreamed of summers when all this was new
I float on the breeze, all logic betrayed
And I think I saw you, but it can't have been you -
You would have waved, you'd have made better days

Opinions and colours are chosen at dawn
On which side to stand, an X in the box
Facing the day or keeping curtains drawn
I hear battlefield songs, always new lines to cross

I’ve dreamed of summers where the tide came for me
But this paper boat stood strong on the wave
This hand holds a bottle to drop in the sea
A message to send, to transmit and be saved

…I’ve dreamed of summers
…I’ve dreamed of summers

On every coat hanger every stitch knows its part
Each button misplaced, each uniform tear
And spaces are made for the new year to start
One more crashing wave, one more coat to wear
