Sight And Touch - Chris De Burgh

My girl wakes in her bed of night

Dressed in silver and dressed in white

She says she’s having the strangest dreams

Of another time and century;

And now she speaks of a far-off place

A woman and a man are in a deep embrace

Don’t they know it’s against the law

Well it must have been before the war

Long before;

it was

Real love and devotion — with sight and touch

Real love and emotion — with sight and touch

Real love and devotion, before the modern world;

She hears voices in her mind

Talking of another world lost in time

Before they took away the words

That told us how we used to be

Our history;

words of

Real love and devotion — with sight and touch

Real love and emotion — with sight and touch

Real love and devotion, before the modern world;

And now we live in a two by four

Never going outside through the door

They’re watching us on the videoline

But we sit and wait until the night

And in the night, we have

Sweet love and devotion — with sight and touch

Real love and emotion — with sight and touch

Sweet love and devotion, in such a modern world;

We’re never going to be lonely — with sight and touch

We’re never going to be lonely — with sight and touch

We’re never going to be lonely in such a modern world…
