Never Take Your Place

Last night I dreamed I saw you there
I dreamed your eyes are blue
And someone's hand upon your hair
I dreamed I saw that too

And not a word that I could say
A thing that I could do
Would ever make you look my way
Or let me look on you

Whip your dogs away from here
There's no more oil and there's no more beer
Whip your dogs away from here
You've no more left to fear
Push away boys, push away boys, it's time we left this place
All the gold of Africa could never take your place

Some fool is hung around your neck
And who around your waist
Or was it all before we met
And in some other place

Or was it just a ghost of me
Lost in another time
Or someone I forgot to be
Who changed his dream for mine

Whip your dogs away from here
There's no more oil and there's no more beer
Whip your dogs away from here
You've no more left to fear
Push away boys, push away boys, it's time we left this place
All the gold of Africa could never take your place

Last night I dreamed I saw you there
I dreamed your eyes are blue
And someone's hand upon your hair
I dreamed I saw that too

Whip your dogs away from here
There's no more oil and there's no more beer
Whip your dogs away from here
You've no more left to fear
Push away boys, push away boys, it's time we left this place
All the gold of Africa could never take your place

Push away boys, push away boys, it's time we left this place
All the gold of Africa could never take your place
All the gold of Africa could never take your place
