about

This song was written for Ragnar Tornquist, writer and creative director of the video games The Longest Journey, Dreamfall, and The Secret World. I love his work. Many people don't. This was my attempt to rationalize the ending of Dreamfall. It's also a very XTC/New romantic inspired track.

lyrics

THE DREAM FALLS

[INTRO]

VERSE 1:
Our story picks up later on
There isn't time to do a full recap
You're gonna have to pick it up
To figure out where everything's at.

Some of the faces are the same
Familiar voices in a stranger place
So many things you thought you knew
Seem to have vanished without a trace.

CHORUS:
Search night and day
For a way you can
Puzzle it through
Until you look up
And find the dream falling
All around you.

VERSE 2:
I guess you know the story well
I see you've got the whole thing worked out
I guess I should have thought it through
Before I ever dared to show you.

I don't suppose it helps to say
You've overlooked a number of small points
Some things I won't be showing you
Until you read the final act through.

CHORUS:
Search night and day
For a way you can
Puzzle it through
Until you look up
And find the dream falling
All around you.

BRIDGE:
Maybe I should have given you another hint
The ending comes too quick and seems too hollow if you missed it...

[INSTRUMENTAL]

VERSE 3:
So now I have to spell it out
It seems you need a frank apology
I tried to tell you from the start
That this would not end
The way you figured it would.
