Dream, Dream (Album Version)

Dream, Dream (Album Version) - Steve Forbert

One two one two three

The signal lights jerk in the wind

And snow blows off the road like sand

The driver squints and sets his chin

He's got to hold the upper hand

Saginaw by midnight that's the plan

And then the snow blows harder still

On covered roads and slippry hills

This trip will surely test his will

Dream dream

Of a Sunday

Dream dream

Safe in bed

Dream dream

With the sheets high round your head

Home instead

Dream dream

Dream dream

She don't sell *** or evening news

She's got those rosebuds in her hand

She took those Goodwill bulky shoes

Because she's got so long to stand

Down there where the offramp

Meets with Grand

And when the dark cuts off the day

She'll drag that box and walk away

Back to that place they let her stay

Dream dream

Of a Sunday

Dream dream

Safe in bed

Dream dream

With the sheets high round your head

Home instead

Dream dream

Someday soon the breaks won't bring you down;

One day soon you'll wake up safe and sound

So now Hadzici's been returned

And Tuesday night Ilidza will

So many houses here've been burned

Their own town hall stands smolddring still

Muslim cheers and car horns split the chill

And though he's far from home tonight

And though it's not his fight to fight

The cause for peace must mean it's right

Dream dream

Of a Sunday

Dream dream

Safe in bed

Dream dream

With the sheets high round your head

Home instead

Dream dream

Dream dream

Dream dream

Dream dream
