[Verse 1]
I went and took a photograph
Of a strange and desperate scene
A lot of people stepping
Up to the guillotine

[Chorus]
Now I wait beside you
And I call you by your name
Oh whisper to me softly
Before I slip away
Yeah, before I slip away
Yeah, before I slip away
Back into the dream
Back into the dream

[Verse 2]
I took a photo of him
Not a hair was out of place
Sitting high upon his tumble
With a smile upon his face

[Chorus]
And now I wake beside you
And I draw you close to me
Oh whisper to me softly
Before I slip away
Yeah, before I slip away
Yeah, before I slip away
Back into the dream
Yeah, back into the dream

[Verse 3]
I turned the camera on myself
As I lay tangled in your limbs
And I shot you full of images
Of picturesque evil

[Chorus]
And now I wake beside you
And I draw you close to me
Oh whisper to me softly
Before I slip away
Yeah, before I slip away
Yeah, before I slip away
Back into the dream
Oh, Back into the dream
Yeah, back into the dream
Back into the dream
