Oh, didn't matter where we lie Back in spring of '79 There were no rules to feel sublime Let's trek down the path We slept to the radio Gentle as my heart beats now Turn up the fuse all over again, my friend Just to take me away Rewind, be my DNA Don't wanna fade away Rewind, there's no yesterday It's our discovery Dreamtime, it's a special place Let's keep each other awake Our hearts, now they beat the same There is a thread that runs along The seam of all the paths we've crossed A colour wheel that spins around Weave all into one The price of getting setting suns We're running to the beat of the drum We are the creatures, rays and larks Relax Just to take me away Rewind, be my DNA Don't wanna fade away Rewind, there's no yesterday It's our discovery Dreamtime, it's a special place Let's keep each other awake Our hearts, now they beat the same Take me away So far away No-one will find us On our own island Just out of choice The dreamer fought the battleship away It's over the horizon Voices inside of us to guide us on Guiding us on (can't you hear us calling you) Can't you hear us calling you Can't you hear us calling you Rewind, we were DNA Don't wanna fade away Rewind, there's no yesterday It's our discovery Dreamtime, it's a special place Let's keep each other awake Our hearts, now they beat the same
