Lyrics

My girl wakes in her bed of night
Dressed in silver and dressed in white
She says she's having the strangest dreams
Of another time and century;

And now she speaks of a far-off place
A woman and a man are in a deep embrace
Don't they know it's against the law
Well it must have been before the war
Long before; it was

Real love and devotion - with sight and touch
Real love and emotion - with sight and touch
Real love and devotion, before the modern world;

She hears voices in her mind
Talking of another world lost in time
Before they took away the words
That told us how we used to be
Our history; words of

Real love and devotion - with sight and touch
Real love and emotion - with sight and touch
Real love and devotion, before the modern world;

And now we live in a two by four
Never going outside through the door
They're watching us on the videoline
But we sit and wait until the night
And in the night, we have

Sweet love and devotion - with sight and touch
Real love and emotion - with sight and touch
Sweet love and devotion, in such a modern world;

We're never going to be lonely - with sight and touch
We're never going to be lonely - with sight and touch
We're never going to be lonely in such a modern world..
