Arthur Barrow - Dream Street lyrics

And a bus comes in On the Hollywood freeway in the dark A face catches sight of home Though at this spirited town Such a beating of the heart And a hope deep down inside They say the streets are paved with gold But it sure looks kind of cold outside Stepping on the sidewal With the stars beneath her feet Just a handful of tourists Is all she's bound to meet So tough to find a room And it takes more than a day And it's not too nice And the price is high Somehow she can't help but cry In a world full of fantasies Reality can hurt It's about the fiction The odds won't go with her on Dream street Dream street Will it all come true? Will it all just fade away Dream street Dream street Well, it's hard to find and It won't let hope escape from dream street [Verse 2:] A year goes by And the situation she can't stand Came to be an actress But a waitress is all she lands Her colleague smiles at her Through the wrinkles of her face She came here too With the self-same goals She never got out of this place She makes her mind up She's gonna leave that very night It's been so long now Since she's felt that good inside She calls the service line There's a message in there for her She's gotta star in a movie part Suddenly it's all worthwhile Oh A little bit closer now But really still too far Is it always out of reach That bright and shiny star of Dream street Dream street Will it all come true? Will it all just fade away? Dream street Dream street Well, it's hard to find And it won't let hope escape from dream street
