A dream that's old
|
A song that's new
|
Money borrowed, guitar blue
|
True love tries, but has to fail
|
When distance, time and space prevail
|
|
I can still see the clothes we wore and the bar next door
|
And the dirty floor and the day we left home for a rock and roll tour of America
|
There was Milo and me it's true and the songs we knew and a picture of you
|
And a beat up van with a guitar in my hand so I could work it through
|
|
Lonely American nights
|
Can make you hungry for the arms of someone new
|
But put me under the lights
|
I'd never jeopardize the trust I had with you
|
And I hope you found yourself another lover with a heart that's true
|
Someone to say to you
|
|
Hold tight, shine bright, tonight I'll be coming right home to you
|
Day light, stay bright, it's alright I'll be makin' it home to you
|
|
We used to pray for the end of school, for our favorite tune, up in my bedroom
|
Where I would wait for you baby in the parking lot to get you in the afternoon
|
Do you remember the way we talked when I dropped you off 'till the sun came up
|
When I awoke to find you sleeping at the opposite end of the telephone
|
|
But everything has a price
|
Ambition ordered me to do what I must do
|
Another love sacrificed
|
Another offer to the gods of losing you
|
And I hope you realize my heart will always hold a place for you
|
When I used to say to you
|
|
Chorus
|
|
And where were you baby when the wheels on my bus broke down
|
And where was I darlin' when you needed me to be around
|
And I suppose I'll never find another lover with a heart so true
|
Someone to say to you
|
|
Hold tight
|
Tonight
|
Day light
|
It's alright
|
|
I can still see the clothes we wore and the bar next door
|
And dirty floor and the day we left home for a rock and roll tour of America
|
There was Milo and me it's true and the songs we knew and a picture of you
|
