Dream from More FLOOP! by Ian Kitney
I heard an interview with Vanessa Valentine on a podcast. She was living on the streets of St Kilda in Melbourne around the same time that I was living there. Her story hit me hard. So I wrote this song based on a combination of her story and recollections of my own.

Lyrics
Here are the lyrics:
Silently we sit in a room in the house with no number
Staring at each other in the kitchen waiting for the hunger.
Picking at the sores behind closed doors, scratching at the paint that's peeling,
Lying on a bedsheet on the floor, gazing at the fading ceiling.
Shine on me, light in the darkness,
See me home, face in the window,
Lead me on, a walk in the garden,
Dream, dream, dream, I dream of it sometimes.
