Irish Selection 1977:
Colm C. T. Wilkinson - "There Was a Dream"

There Was a Dream

I gotta say one more time
I ain't coming back no more
No more
And I don't think you believe me, girl
Because I've tried to break away before
Before

And don't blame yourself that it went wrong
We tried, it's not for us
Just let go, don't cry too much
Try not to make a fuss
Don't make a fuss

There was a dream we tried to live
I just seem to give and give
And nothing came (Nothing came) to fill the space (to fill the space)
And we both lost the race

The two of us at Stephen's Green
I walk down Grafton Street, to Neary's bar
For a jar
Ah, we were so good together, then
The time was warm, and we were going far
So very far

Now, when I say I'm going away
Please try and understand
Anyway, it's better like this
C'est la vie, it's all planned
It's all planned

There was a dream we tried to live
But I just seem to give and give
And nothing came (Nothing came) to fill the space (to fill the space)
And we both lost the race

(Lost the race)

So, I gotta say it just one more time
I ain't coming back no more
No more
I don't think you believe me, girl
Because I've tried to break away before
Before

And don't blame yourself that it went wrong
We tried, it's not for us
Just let go, don't cry too much
Try not to make a fuss
Don't make a fuss

There was a dream we tried to live
I just seem to give and give
And nothing came (Nothing came) to fill the space (to fill the space)
And we both lost the race

(There was a dream) Yes, there was (we tried to live) we tried to live
(I just seem to give and give)
And nothing came (Nothing came) to fill the space (to fill the space)
(We both lost the race) We lost the race

There was a dream we tried to live
But I just seem to give and give
And nothing came (Nothing came) no, to fill the space (to fill the space)
And we both lost the race

There waѕ a dreаm…
