I recall when they would say
|
No one lives for just one day
|
Don't save dreams that can't be sold
|
Don't chase rainbows, just their gold
|
Tried in their way, tried it mine
|
I won my race before my time
|
But golden trophies, fancy toys
|
Don't compare to childhood joys
|
|
Walk beside me darlin' come listen to the rain
|
And watch the rollin' water to ease your pain again
|
When night comes down to free us, and sorrow's finally gone
|
I long to hear your secret dreams and rock you in my arms
|
|
There lived a nation proud and free
|
It tried to show us harmony
|
But we stood much too close to see
|
To read the hand of destiny
|
I know a child who's only seen
|
A sunrise on the silver screen
|
she never watched the birds in flight
|
Or saw the dew by morning light
|
|
Walk beside me darlin', come hear the howlin' wind
|
He'll be a true companion, he'll listen like a friend
|
When night comes down to free us, your sorrow finally gone
|
I long to hear your secret dreams and rock in my arms
|
