On a dark December morning
|
When the sun refused to shine
|
Spent another sleepless night
|
Got so much on my mind
|
Think I finally know what's wrong
|
I think I've gotta leave this place behind
|
So I said wake up, Linda,
|
I've had a dream
|
I dreamed we moved away from here
|
To a place I'd never seen
|
Where the nights were long and cold
|
And the air was fresh and clean.
|
|
And there we were standing
|
Underneath the western sky
|
Beside a home we built ourselves
|
Way up in the mountains high
|
And we lived happy there, just you and I
|
On a river of dreams
|
|
There's no need to worry now
|
Cause I've got a plan
|
We don't need this modern world
|
I'm not a modern man
|
We're gonna get ourselves off these city streets
|
We're gonna get back on the land
|
|
There's a whole lot of people out there
|
Feel just like you and me
|
They'd love to pack their leavin' trucks
|
And say goodbye to all their misery
|
What'd ya say we pack up that Camaro, honey
|
And chase the sun until we're free
|
|
And if I could I'd lift you up on angel wings
|
We'd fly away and never worry about a thing
|
We'd know the joy and riches a simple life can bring
|
On a river of dreams, on a river of dreams
|
|
So get your things together now
|
I'll be getting mine
|
I've finally got the feeling girl
|
The sun is gonna shine
|
You know people don't run out of dreams
|
People just run out of time
|
|
Let's find that place out there
|
Underneath the western sky
|
We'll build a home ourselves
|
Way up in the mountains high
|
We'll live happy there 'til the day we die
|
On a river of dreams
|
|
And we'll have stars to wish on every single night
|
We'll build a fire and make love by candlelight
|
We'll do our moondance 'til we get it right
|
On a river of dreams, on a river of dreams
|
I can see us standing by the river
|
Holding hands beside the river
|
