Real And Unreal Lyrics

Al Stewart Real And Unreal

Did you ever have the feeling You're the only person living in the world And people that you see Are one-dimensional and never there at all Even just the commonplace Warm familiar greetings are a lie Their voices and their faces are as empty As the space beyond the sky

Marilyn is walking with her scarf Around her head against the rain The doorways and the shops fill up with people And it's pouring down again A man with an umbrella seems to see her But he turns and looks away And nothing really matters 'cause there's Nothing that she wants to do or say

In the real and unreal In the real and unreal

As she puts the key inside the door She's just an ordinary girl Did you ever have the feeling You're the only person living in the world

In the real and unreal In the real and unreal

Tomorrow comes around And yet she doesn't feel a part of it all Did you ever have the feeling You're the only person living in the world Only person living in the world Only person living in the world
