The Sweetest Serenade

my mother said you can do whatever you wish to
my teacher told me that it really was true
but me, I turned into a dreamer
dreaming of all I could do

yes I’ll be there when revolution rolls over
yes I’ll be there right on the barricades
and when the fight is all over
the band plays a sweet serenade

the sweetest serenade that’s ever been danced on
the sweetest serenade that’s ever been made
with a chorus of birds
that sing without words
on the sweetest of all serenades

the sweetest serenade that’s ever been kissed on
the sweetest serenade that’s ever been played
with stars in the sky
that whisper eye eye
on the sweetest of all serenades

and later on I’ll need a shoulder to cry on
when I realise that not one dream came true
no revolution, nothing has changed
just my own hair turned grey
