Save the Whale
You must be working pretty hard
I feed the cat half a can of food
and I sit at the table and wait for you
I don't like doubting that this old love will hold
But I have my moments when I'm just waiting for it to explode

And dreams of his reward
Then he takes his break
And he counts his take

A quarter of his life is gone
And what's he doing here

The old backyard is covered in cement
The people seem afraid to dream
And dream don't cost a cent
There are dreams that stay inside all day
And never see the light
And if dreams come true
I swear to you
I'll dream of you tonight
And if dreams come true
I swear to you
I'll dream of you tonight
