Big Country - Never Take Your Place lyrics

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
