[Verse 1]
I recall how we lived (I recall)
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 (And we'd talk with our eyes)
Of the sweetness in our lives
And tomorrows of rich surprise
Some things we could do

[Chorus]
Boy, you and me tomorrow (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 (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 (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

[Chorus]
Just me and you tomorrow (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

David Bowie (1947 – 2016) was a British musician, and one of the most iconic rock stars with a widely diverse career where he frequently changed his appearance and musical style, resulting in an acclaimed discography comparable to other stalwarts such as The Beatles and Bob Dylan. Born David Robert Jones, Bowie quickly renamed himself to prevent confusion with The Monkees singer Davy Jones. Enduring many early missteps, he rose to prominence when his most famous song, “Space Oddity,” was played during the coverage of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

Despite this early breakthrough, Bowie remained a cult figure for several years. Even the release of Hunky Dory, his first great album, went largely unnoticed. Bowie only lodged himself firmly in the public consciousness when he announced his bisexuality and created Ziggy Stardust in early 1972. A Martian who combined the debauchery of Iggy Pop with the artistry of Lou Reed, Ziggy was the main character in Bowie’s breakthrough album, and his public persona for eighteen months.

Bowie used his new-found popularity to move to America, and dabble with new musical directions and cocaine. Diamond Dogs and Young Americans continue to divide critics, but Station To Station found Bowie at a new creative peak, despite escalating drug use and related health issues.
