Simple Minds

Although every building's standing tall
I look to you as something that much greater
I searched through all religion, in the hope that something would entice
I dreamed of crossing bridges, mountain ridges
From the Pole to the Equator
But when I saw you skating by â€" I was underneath the ice
I woke up staring at the sun
I searched for you in every hidden angle
All through my imagination, every face and place, every memory inside
High above the clouds they say there are galaxies and other destinations...
And then I saw you skating by - but I was underneath the ice

Today I dreamed another dream, predestined to come and save me... later
Today I dreamed another dream that you would come to take me home
