Dreams
Had a dream the other night
Of friends that I’ve known
People who I left behind
When I set out on my own
(C) We laughed and played all through the day
And through the nighttime too
Told stories till the sun came up
About all the things we’d do
Back when all the world seemed new
Had a dream the other night
Of places that I’ve known
Of somewheres that I’ve left behind
Though I used to call them home (homes)
(C) Smokestacks against an ebon sky
Rolling seas of wheat
Downtown to watch the trains roll by
Someone else’s shoes on my feet
As I walked on down the street
I woke up the other night
Tears dried on my face
My dream began to fade away
The memories replaced (erased) (Leaving real life in its place)
(C) In my dreams, I see the past
Just like it was back then
But when I wake they slip away
All the places that I have been
All the faces of my friends
I would gladly give anything (?)
Just to see them all again
