1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 I HAD THIS DREAM THE OTHER NIGHT
OF A SPECIAL PLACE COVERED IN RED AND WHITE
THERE WERE LIVERPOOL BANNERS HANGING EVERYWHERE
A SWEET SILVER SONG OF THE LARK FILLED THE AIR

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 ALL OF THE ROAD SIGNS ALL OF THE KERBS
THEY WERE ALL ETCHED WITH THESE FAMOUS 4 WORDS
THESE 4 WORDS WERE “YOULL NEVER WALK ALONE”
I WAS DEFINATELY IN SOME LIVERPOOL ZONE

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 AT THE TOP OF EACH BUILDING A LIVERBIRD STOOD
I TRIED NOT TO BE NERVOUS AS MUCH AS I COULD
MY WHOLE BODY WAS SHAKING I WAS AS QUIET AS A MOUSE
EVERYONE HAD THE SAME ACCENT THEY ALL SPOKE SCOUSE

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 “WALK ON WALK ON” SAID THE LORD FROM ABOVE
YOU ARE NOW IN A LIVERPOOL LAND THAT YOU LOVE
DONT BE AFRAID OF THE DARK DONT SHAKE IN YOUR SHOES
JUST FOLLOW MY ANGEL HIS NAMES EMLYN HUGHES

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 CRAZY HORSE SAID TO ME “JUST JUMP ON MY WINGS”
IM TAKING YOU TO SEE 3 LIVERPOOL KINGS
HE DROPPED ME OFF SAYING “KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED”
AND LOOK FOR THE SIGN SAYING “HEAVENS ANFIELD”

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 INSIDE “HEAVENS ANFIELD” THERE WERE 96 SOULS
THEY WERE ALL CHEERING ON FAMOUS LIVERPOOL GOALS
EACH HAD ETERNAL FLAMES THEY WERE ALL GIVING THANKS
THERE STOOD THE 3 KINGS JOE FAGAN, BOB PAISLEY AND THE GREAT MAN “OLD SHANKS”

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 SUDDENLY I WOKE UP AND I STARTED TO CRY
AT THE THOUGHT OF HEAVENS ANFIELD WAY ABOVE THE SKY
IT WAS THEN THAT I REALISED IT WAS ONLY A DREAM
GOD WAS JUST TELLING ME LIVERPOOL’S THE BEST TEAM.
