Alphaville sings about dreams quite a lot but not many songs have the word 'dream' in the title. Here are some of the lyrics that I love from them, though.
***************
She's closing her eyes, she starting to dream,
She's pulling the strings
She's dreaming a strange dream
Where nothing is grey
Then she takes me away and she's pulling the strings
When she's playing with love
***************
For now it's judgement's day, tonite it will be killed
But maybe in your dreams it comes around again
To tell you lovely things about a paradise
Where everything is clean and everybody's nice
And everything is love and everything is light
Where Mom and Papa wait to kiss you good night
***************
Ain't it strange, still we could fall into a dream
I'd wish no one will catch that fall
For we could fall for love, life is but a dream
Life is but a dream
All the tears in the world not in vain
For the pain is gone, the shame is washed away
When we're all one, life is but a dream
Life is but a dream
*************
Caroline says
Are you really sure that you know me
I never met you before, can I trust you
But she's never cautious, no, never, will she ever learn
Will she always send her dreams
And poems to imaginary people
****************
You feel just like a little girl
And all your dreams lie frozen on the moon
You left them ther some time ago
But it ain't true that you don't need them anymore
****************
I caress you with my charms
I'm your best friend, the dream
I'm the light that guides you through the nights
And deepest haze
I'm a cosmopolitician...
You need a friend without a doubt
I wonder why you came around
Are you awake or do you dream
You're stuck inside a frozen scene
*******************
Do you want to dance with me
Through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream
Maybe we're reaching the gardens of delight
Do you want to dance with me
Through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream
Maybe we're drowning in empires of delight
*********************
Woke up in the morning still I heard this song
Must be somewhere from my dreams, I don't know
Made me feel so good, sun was shining bright
God, I love you that you brought
This little song to give me..
Faith
You're so beautiful, dream on, dream on, baby
I'm gonna wake you up when the time is right
I'll give you..
Faith...
*********************
Innocent dreamers, look what you've done
How it's time for the Phoenix to fly
Hello today
Wake to the dawn
To meet the guardians of the isles
The valient captains will rule the seas
Till the comets return
Hello my love
Here's to your heart
Release that dream into the world
Join in the air race, leaving tonite
How does it feel to follow the light
Beautiful dreamer, it's up to you
If we glide through the glamour of love
We believe in our dreams
Reaching out for above
We believe in our dreams
Reaching out for love
********************
But you visit my sweetest dreams
And you kindle all of my phantasies
And you're right, it's your name that I scream
********************
We give so that we live
Beside the sleepy snakes
They dream of you and me when will they ever end
For a million years they dream
For a million years they dream
And the fog conceals and hides and eats our souls
Before they open up their eyes again
How far we'll be
Remember me
*********************
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let them come true
**********************
I forgive the angels who could never take me high
I forgive all my dreams that I couldn't really fly
I forgive the thought that I couldn't stop thinking
**********************
It is a scream but more a nightmare than a laugh
Those without faith are liars
Even when they're dreaming
I'd put my faith in God if he knew how to dance
But there's no devil in the darkness
No demon in the skies
Nothing to be afraid of
Cross my heart and hope to die
*********************
To be told...
I dreamt I had the time to listen what you'd say
And what you'd say was true and we could start anew
*********************
Little boy
You never understand when she's talking to you
She's too far away
Is it heaven or hell
We're drifting in the wake of our dreams
********************
But I've only got a vision
A strange kind of world
In eternal isolation, for the sake of inspiration
And the stuff that dreams are made of
********************
i just have to be me and i don't need to be
the stranger anymore i used to be
in my impossible dream
*********************
He's in the mood to touch the fire
He's in the mood to touch everything you are
Jacky's locked in a silent dream
*********************
A place full of smiling people, a place full of happiness
I was dreaming to go there
Instead of doing the interview & receive...
A miracle healing of innocence & ectasy
Dreams of independence
Love, caress & energy
******************
I've looked for wisdom every hour
Searched for decay in every flower
Ionized all the sacred schemes
And killed the prophets in my dreams
I've torn James Joyce to pieces to make the puzzle fit
I've looked for secret messages in every little bit
******************
Oh how we dreamt to change the world
And we would never give in, no matter what they say
A really cool connection in a cruel world
You led me through the nights
And through the hardest fights
We dreamt we'd be the ones
And we would never lose
You made me speechless - and fearless
Yet it made you fearless too
Oh how we dreamt to be so fearless
No matter what they do
I don't know where you are now
We shared a dream of being together
You led me to the light, yeah
For this i would like to thank you forever
**********************
Breaking the secret spells they put on us, my love
Forever out of reach, a million dreams ahead
They'll never understand
The mysteries of love
**********************
And she does not dare to throw the stone
To make it all come true
Of what she's dreaming of
And so it seems to me
*********************
(planes/can they/in mourn/for days/I lie/my way)
Somehow it seems, it's no dream, fly away
Private plane...
*********************
move over, closer to my fantasies, pretty baby
we're standing at the turn of the centuries
the daughter of time is dancing tonite
little dreamer, you're the d.j. of your soul
********************
what were they for, these black inked dreams
a guaranty that i was wise
and so called gods define an entrance for eternal life
into a masterpeace of mine
********************
i woke up late at night
she called me up then disappeared
and the echo of her voice filled the empty places in my dreams
********************
Now I wonder what to do
You never know when your dreams come true
Is it good for you, is it good for you
On our ship of fools we´re drifting along the shores never seen before
Till the end I´ll spread my wings
And raise my dreams against your fears
You never know when your dreams come true
Is it good for you, is it good for you
***************************
some people fight for right to life,
some people hate to stay alive
some people dream of life on mars,
some people end their life in cars
*************************
Your sense against my madness
Your void against my screams
Your ***** against my gladness
Your fakes against my dreams
*************************
oh, we're moving, we're falling, we step into the fire
by the hour of the wolf in a midnight dream
************************
Woke up at the break of day
Something chased my dreams away
Isn´t it quite strange the way we live
You´re so pretty, you´re so sweet
I like to watch you in your sleep
I´d give a million if I knew your name
And all I need is to be with you
In a state of dreams - a state of dreams
That´s where I want it to be with you
In a state of dreams - a state of dreams
*******************
feel how your heart beats like a
heavy machine
the sound of the traffic is like a
silent dream
*******************
Oh sweet illusions, you´re so ting-a-ling
Let me dream, let me dream, let me dream on
And forget about everything
And I won´t hide away again from myself
And stop pretending that I'm somebody else
Cause it´s so hard to take when they've all gone away
My sweet dreams, my sweet dreams
***********************
remember how we laughed away the hours
and dreamed of all the great things we would do..
**********************
i sometimes travel
but this is strictly in my dreams
he feeds the seagulls in the winds with ashes
and as he speaks he's got my father's voice
**********************
you better stop to get the tickets
for the starlite show
everybody wants to be there
what a dream
************************
there's a universal daddy for everyone
from universal kingdom number one
he sends his universal angels
through the air
to universal dreamers
everywhere
************************
you killed the fairies in my dreams, you poured their blood on me
if i only knew your plans, i'd drink it happily
****************************
she's really an angel
she stands in the sunshine
she's closing her eyes, she starting to dream,
she's pulling the strings
she's dreaming a strange dream
where nothing is grey
then she takes me away and she's pulling the strings
when she's playing with love
*************************
where are you now, magician, lost your wand, where are the dreams
that you have dreamt....when you were a hero
where are you now, where have you gone, you're much too beautuful
to slip into oblivion
***********************
sometimes i dream my time away
and we're together again
but i know that can never be
and all my hopes are in vain
***********************
i haven´t been very well
feeling kind of seasick, tryin´ to follow your contrail
you´re flying miles above my head
while I´m dreaming underwater sleeping in a whale
