about

A story of a man who has served his country in years gone by and now finds himself isolated and alone save for his dreams of how he wishes his life was and the sad memories of his younger days

lyrics

In the dreams of a lonely man
A sea of peace and calm
A clear blue sky greets a warming sun
To start a brand new day

Sitting in a restaurant
Food and drink abound
A smiling waiter standing by
"Dear Sir, another round?"

Colour and light
The images fade
Memories remain

Life all around
But he's trapped in a world so blue

For in his life
the sky is grey and cold
Begging on the city streets
"Buddy can you spare a dime?"

He drags his weary body
Through miles of faceless souls
In the dreams of a lonely man
You'll never be alone

A mansion set in lush green hills
His eyes are filled with awe
Everything his heart desires
Everything and more

Pretty girls at his every whim
Seductive late night games
A party for the master
The king of all he claims

Gunfire at night
The smell and the sound
Of war on the ground

The cries and the pain
Of a prisoner in horror and shame

But in his life he's a man without a home
A veteran of his country
A man without his soul
The blazing sun bids him farewell
The moon his long lost friend
In the dreams of a lonely man
You'll never be alone

On board his private Lear jet
Sipping French champagne
Among the ruins of Egypt
The jungles of Zaire

Gondolas in Italy
Torreadors in Spain
His face is known everywhere
He's a man of wealth and fame

Love that was blind
Till one fateful day
She just slipped away

Sadness remains
For the love in his life he once knew

But in his world
He's a lonely lonely man
No master of his destiny
A frail and weary soul
A cardboard box for shelter
A pillow made of stone
In the dreams of a lonely man
You'll never be alone
Again
Never again

James Morrison "The Voice" Melbourne, Australia

I was born in Sydney, NSW and spent most of my childhood in Manly, in Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

My earliest recollection of a desire to perform was at age seven, when I spontaneously stood up in front
of the old mantle radio and sang The Beatle’s" Twist and Shout "in front of the entire family. Immediately after this performance, I lost my voice for a number of days! ... more
