lyrics

When I came to the city I was seventeen
Everything looking just like in a dream, yes it was.
I made a little money and I drank a lot of wine
Met some really cool people had some wild times, yes it was,
Now everyone's going to Copenhagen and I'm stuck here alone,
The dream is over, I think it's time to go home.

I met all the people and saw all the faces
Heard a lot of fine stories how they were going places
I believed it then
And the guys who went off to live in the woods
Said they were leaving the city for good
You know they're back again
And I guess it's the same in Copenhagen and in Amsterdam and Rome,
The dream is over, it's time to go home.

I'm getting sick and tired of being out on the street
I've got to work all day to get back on my feet, and get away
The wine's gone sour and the money's getting slow
Everybody's talking about how it used to flow
Yesterday
Everyday I go down in the subway I'm still standing on that stone
The dream is over, it's time to go home.
