I think this is it.

 

Click for Spoiler:

ROGER HODGSON - "Had A Dream (Sleeping With The Enemy)"

 

 

Had a dream I was born

To be naked in the eye of the storm

And now it's standing right in front of me

What's it going to do to me, who knows,

Had a dream it was time

To be taken to the front of the line

Well that is not a place you wanna be

Sleeping with the enemy, you know

 

I don't care what the future brings

Give a damn about anything

I'd be fine if they'd only leave me alone.

But it's time - gotta take a stance

'Cause I won't get a second chance

And I know now I have to make it alone

 

Had a dream it was war

And they couldn't tell me what it was for

But it was something they could lie about

Something we could die about, you know

Anytime, anyplace

When you look that man in the face

Well it is not a face you wanna see

Sleeping with the enemy, you know

 

Mary, can you hear me

Can you tell me what it's all supposed to mean

Holding out a photograph of all that I have seen

I wish I could hold you

I wish I could hold you

 

Had a dream it was time

To be a witness at the scene of the crime

Well, That is something you can analyse

Something you can criticise, who knows

So we wait, hesitate

And we're making such a mistake

Oh whatever can the matter be

Sleeping with the enemy, you know

 

I don't care what the future brings

Give a damn about anything

I'd be fine if they'd only leave me alone

But it's time, gotta take a stance

'Cause I won't get a second chance

And I know now I have to make it alone

I think I might know what it is.

 

It might be 'Had A Dream (Sleeping With The Enemy)' by Roger Hodgson.

 

The lyrics are here.

I found it by going into google and typing the words you told me and the word 'lyrics'. I fine all the songs I know but don't know the name or artist that way.
