An Occasional Dream BBC Live Session by David Bowie Lyrics

(The next thing the big band will be doing is a track from David's last LP, the one called "David Bowie", and
This song is "An Occasional Dream":)

[Verse 1]
I recall how we lived
On the corner of a bed
And we'd speak of a Swedish room
Of hessian and wood
And we'd talk with our eyes
Of the sweetness in our lives
And tomorrows of rich surprise
Some things we could do

[Chorus 1]
In our madness
We burnt one hundred days
Time takes time to pass
And I still hold some ashes
To me
An Occasional Dream
[Verse 2]
And we'd sleep, oh so close
But not really close our eyes
Between the sheets of summer
Bathed in blue
Gently weeping nights

It was long, long ago
And I can't touch your name
For the days of fate
Were strong for you
Danced you far from me

[Outro Chorus]
In my madness
I see your face in mine
I keep a photograph
It burns my wall with time
Time
An occasional dream
Of mine
An occasional dream
Of mine
An occasional dream
Of mine ...
(and that was called an "An Occasional Dream" ...)
