| I was born near the factory
 | 
| Where Henry wrote his name
 | 
| Sometimes I could hear the whistle blow
 | 
| My father pushed his headlights
 | 
| Thru that northern English rain
 | 
| He was proud of everything he drove
 | 
| And mother’s hair was fashioned
 | 
| For that very special day
 | 
| She cried on board the liner
 | 
| And tried to wave good-bye
 | 
| Five weeks of remembering, those names we couldn’t say
 | 
| Staring at the South Pacific sky
 | 
| I share my life with the immigrants and the ramblers
 | 
| I drink my wine with the middlemen and the gamblers
 | 
| I spend my time with schemers on the phone
 | 
| But when I dream, I dream alone, I dream alone
 | 
| I dream alone, I dream alone
 | 
| As soon as we set foot on the sunburnt land
 | 
| The mountains all around us ran with fire
 | 
| My family knew right then that our best laid plans
 | 
| Would have to reach a lot higher
 | 
| I share my life with the immigrants and the ramblers
 | 
| I drink my wine with the middlemen and the gamblers
 | 
| I spend my time with schemers on the phone
 | 
| But when I dream, I dream alone, I dream alone
 | 
| I dream alone, I dream alone
 | 
| Rows of simple houses, kids out on the street
 | 
| Windows all aglow from the brand new TV sets
 | 
| Screen door always slamming in that endless summer heat
 | 
| My father working late to pay his debts
 | 
| My father working late to pay hid debts
 | 
| Now my little boy is safe in the comfort of his bed
 | 
| The monster he invented we both chased into the night
 | 
| His puzzle lies in pieces by the book that we just read
 | 
| The story of a man who touched the sky …
 | 
| I share my life with the immigrants and the ramblers
 | 
| I drink my wine with the middlemen and the gamblers
 | 
| I spend my time with schemers on the phone
 | 
| But when I dream, I dream alone …
 | 
| I share my life with the immigrants and the ramblers
 | 
| I drink my wine with the middlemen and the gamblers
 | 
| I spend my time with schemers on the phone
 | 
| But when I dream, I dream alone, I dream alone
 | 
| I dream alone, I dream alone |
