| Well, I walked along and I felt like pretending
 | 
| The earth stopped moving and nothing was ending
 | 
| I saw the beggar boys in different places
 | 
| They wore dirty rags and filthy faces
 | 
| I told them 'hello' and they came and they followed
 | 
| I gave them my bread and they chewed and the swallowed
 | 
| And they picked me up and took my hand
 | 
| And I never felt like a better man
 | 
| Well, love was just a dream
 | 
| You know I never got no sleep
 | 
| Walking hand in hand with the beggar boys down the street
 | 
| Well, we talked all night and I felt very tired
 | 
| So I laid down and I looked at the fire
 | 
| And I thought about nothing at all
 | 
| And then in the morning I was up at dawn
 | 
| We talked to the people who wanted to hide us
 | 
| Nothing they said then could ever divide us
 | 
| And I pulled out everything I know
 | 
| And I never ever went back home
 | 
| Well, love was just a dream
 | 
| You know I never got no sleep
 | 
| Walking hand in hand with the beggar boys down the street
 | 
| Take me
 | 
| I was you (you were me)
 | 
| He was she (she was he)
 | 
| They were us (we were they)
 | 
| It was real (we were free)
 | 
| I was God (God is cool)
 | 
| God is you (God is me)
 | 
| I was one (we were two)
 | 
| They were three (three is three)
 | 
| I was me (you were you)
 | 
| Love was us (we were love)
 | 
| I was gone (you were there)
 | 
| You were here (I was everywhere)
 | 
| I was this (this is me)
 | 
| I was young (you were old)
 | 
| I was hot (you were cold)
 | 
| I was all (You were everything)
 | 
| Love was just a dream
 | 
| You know I never got no sleep
 | 
| Walking hand in hand with the beggar boys down the street
 | 
| Yeah, love was just a dream
 | 
| You know I never got no sleep
 | 
| Walking hand in hand with the beggar boys down the street |
