Sometimes I write lyrics and get other people to sing them.
Beneath a Stone As I lay upon my bed Drumming sounded in my head Soldiers marching double time Coming in an endless line In the distance lions roared Then a shaking of the floor It’s just a dream my lover said Awake I sat in silent dread Chorus It’s just another dream she said Lie down and rest your weary head But the dream lives on in our blood and bone Even when we lay beneath a stone The dreams they come more often now The voices they are growing loud Horsemen coming four abreast Lightning flashes east to west The sound of sharpening stones on steel The grinding clank of iron clad wheels Across the field by end of day Bodies in the thousands lay Chorus It's just another dream she said Lie down and rest your weary head But the dream lives on in our blood and bone Even when we lay beneath a stone What treasure were they fighting for? Was it better than they had before? Our fathers had these dreams they say As far back as forgotten days And all our mothers soothed the brow Of the dreaming beast when they heard it growl Chorus It's just another dream they said Lie down and rest your weary head But the dream lived on in their blood and bone Even when they lay beneath a stone Half Chorus But the dream lived on in their blood and bone As they lay beneath a stone Yes the dream lives on in their blood and bone As they lay beneath a stone
