Eurovision 1981 Sweden:
Björn Skifs - "Fångad i en dröm"
Fångad i en dröm
I mitt hus, där händer det att natten är lång
I mitt hus, där känner du nånting är på gång
Och när dagen börjar skymma bjuder oron upp till dans
Du försöker komma undan men du kommer ingen stans
Och fångad i en dröm som inte gör dig fri
Fångad i en dröm, hålls du kvar ändå av din fantasi
Ja, fångad om igen och om du kunde fly
Men fångad i en dröm, blir du kvar ändå tills att dagen gryr
I en dröm, i en dröm
I en tid när världen skall vara full av logik
I en tid när sagor inte längre hör hit
Ser du verkligheten rasa och det isar i din hud
Och du skriker ut din fasa men det kommer inga ljud
Och fångad i en dröm som inte gör dig fri
Fångad i en dröm, hålls du kvar ändå av din fantasi
Ja, fångad om igen och om du kunde fly
Men fångad i en dröm, blir du kvar ändå tills att dagen gryr
Fångad i en dröm som inte gör dig fri
Fångad i en dröm, hålls du kvar ändå av din fantаѕi
I en dröm, i en dröm
I en dröm, i en dröm
Captured in a dream
In my house it happens that the night is long
In my house you can feel something is going on
And when the day turns to dusk, restlessness invites you to dance
You're trying to escape but can't go anywhere
And captured in a dream that doesn't set you free
Captured in a dream, you're held back by your fantasy
Yes, captured once more and if only you could escape
Still captured in a dream, you remain until the day is dawning
In a dream, in a dream
In a time when the world is supposed to be logical
In a time when fairy tales don't fit in
You see reality fall apart with chills in your skin
And though you're screaming out your fear, no sounds are heard
And captured in a dream that doesn't set you free
Captured in a dream, you're held back by your fantasy
Yes, captured once more and if only you could escape
Still captured in a dream, you remain until the day is dawning
Captured in a dream that doesn't set you free
Captured in a dream, you're held back by your fantaѕy
In a dream, in a dream
In a dream, in a dreаm
Haunted by a dream
In the night, you're dreamin', but it's part of the game
In the night, reality is slipping away
There's a frightening sensation, what a terrifying ride
When you're filled with desparation, and there ain't no place to hide
Haunted by a dream that doesn't set you free
Haunted by a dream, and you lost yourself to your fantasy
If only there could be a chance to get away
But haunted by a dream 'til the dawning light you are bound to stay
In the night, in the night
And you know you have to live alone with your fear
And you know you can't find any way outta here
And in your imagination, you are trapped behind a wall
So you scream in desparation, but there ain't no sound at all
Haunted by a dream that doesn't set you free
Haunted by a dream, and you lost yourself to your fantasy
If only there could be a chance to get away
But haunted by a dream 'til the dawning light you are bound to stay
Haunted by a dream that doesn't set you free
Haunted by a dream, and you lost yourself to your fantаѕy
In the night, in the night
In the night, in the night
