An Occasional Dream (2019 Mix) - David Bowie

I recall how we lived On the corner of a bed And we'd speak of the 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 In our madness We burnt one hundred days Time takes time to pass And I still hold some ashes to me An Occasional Dream And we'd sleep, oh so close But not really close our eyes Tween the sheets of summer bathed in blue... Gently weeping nights It was long, long ago And I still can't touch your name For the days of fate were strong for you... Danced you far from me 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

I've got an island in the Pacific And every thing about it is terrific I've got the sun to tan me, palms to fan me, and An occasional man I love my island, it's very lazy If I should ever leave it I'd be crazy I've got papayas, peaches, sandy beaches, and An occasional man When I go swimming I am always dressed in style 'Cause I go swimming Wearing just a great big smile My little island is made for pleasure And in the cool of evening it's a treasure And when the day grows later, what is greater than An occasional man If you're on shore leave And your face is kinda cute, Perhaps by your leave I could be your passion fruit

This week dragged past me so slowly The days fell on their knees Maybe I'll take something to help me Hope someone takes after me I guess there's always some change in the weather This time I know we could get it together If I did casually mention tonight That would be crazy tonight Stay - that's what I meant to say Or do something, but what I never say is Stay this time, I really meant to so bad this time 'Cause you can never really tell When somebody wants something you want too Heart wrecker, heart wrecker, make me delight Life is so vague when it brings someone new This time tomorrow I'll know what to do I know it's happened to you Stay - that's what I meant to say Or do something, but what I never say is Stay this time, I really meant to so bad this time 'Cause you can never really tell When somebody wants something you want too Stay - that's what I meant to say Or do something, but what I never say is Stay this time, I really meant to so bad this time 'Cause you can never really tell When somebody wants something you want too
