Winter's Last Gasp

When I sleep, I dream too much
Kept me breathing since December
The winter air is warm all day
And I can smile as I remember
When I sleep, the golden twilight sun
Warms the bums at the train station
And the streets are bathed navy blue
Traffic jams are blessed with patience

When I sleep, the skies are blue
The grass is tall and unaffected
And the need for war is gone
People live lives as selected
When I wake, the cold bites my hands
This old peaceful world still standing
In the day, it's hard to ignore
I'm just trying to remember
