Bob Dylan's Dream (Live at Brandeis University, Waltham, MA - May 1963) - Bob Dylan

Written by：Bob Dylan

While riding on a train going west

I fell asleep for to take my rest

I dreamed a dream that made me sad

Concerning myself and the first few friends I had

With half damp eyes I stared to the room

Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon

Where we together weathered many a storm

Laughing and singing till the early hours of the morn

By the old wooden stove where our hats was hung

Our words were told our songs were sung

Where we longed for nothing and were quite satisfied

Thinking and talking about the world outside

With haunted hearts through the heat and cold

We never must thought we could ever get old

We thought we could sit forever in fun

But our chances really was a million to one

As easy it was to tell black from white

It was all that easy to tell wrong from right

And our choices were few and the thought never hit

That the one road we traveled would ever shatter and split

How many a year has passed and gone

And many a gamble has been lost and won

And many a road taken by many a friend

And each one I've never seen again

I wish I wish I wish in vain

That we could sit simply in that room again

Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat

I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that
