Dora Lyrics
Dora, in the middle of the night
will you wait for me
Till the morning sun shine bright
For it's all a dream
And it's only make believe
Dora, oh it hurts to hear you say
You're all alone
And the pain won't go away
But it's all a dream
And it's only make believe
Listening through the hours of the day
Waiting for the night to end
Thinking, though it's not for me to say
When will I see you again
When will I see you again
Forget the lies they whisper in your ear
And every superstitious word you hear
Dora, though the truth is hard to face
And the fantasy
Is not easy to replace
It's all a dream
And it's only make believe
Oh, I keep thinking
Of the words I shouldn't say
When will I see you again
When will I see you again
And every doubt they whisper in your ear
And all the half-forgotten past you fear
One day will fade away and disappear
Dora, in the middle of the night
Do you wait for me
where the morning sun shine bright
Is it all a dream
Is it only make believe
Is it all a thread
Of the tangled web you weave
Is it all a dream
Is it only make believe
will you wait for me
Till the morning sun shine bright
For it's all a dream
And it's only make believe
You're all alone
And the pain won't go away
But it's all a dream
And it's only make believe
Waiting for the night to end
Thinking, though it's not for me to say
When will I see you again
When will I see you again
And every superstitious word you hear
Dora, though the truth is hard to face
And the fantasy
Is not easy to replace
It's all a dream
And it's only make believe
Of the words I shouldn't say
When will I see you again
When will I see you again
And all the half-forgotten past you fear
One day will fade away and disappear
Do you wait for me
where the morning sun shine bright
Is it all a dream
Is it only make believe
Of the tangled web you weave
Is it all a dream
Is it only make believe

Contrary to impraiseoffolly, i think this is a marvelous song. It gives some background into Freud and Dora, a patient of his, whose real name was Ida Bauer. Freud told her she had hysteria and forced his opinions regarding her condition on her, without taking her own words into consideration and how she replied. She ended up terminating her sessions with him because of this, leading to Freud being self-critical. That's what this song is about.
A) The lyrics to this song suck B) This is not an Alan Parsons Project Song C) Why then, did Ice submit this song (as well as many many others that are also wrong) on the Alan Parsons Project page?
I don't think they suck, I suppose maybe if you didn't know the context of the album they might sound a bit cliche, but knowing who Dora was to Freud kind of changes that. Not technically project stuff but Alan Parsons himself still produced it!
