Steve Forbert - Dream, Dream lyrics

The signal lights jerk in the wind And snow blows off the road like sand The driver squints and sets his chin He's got to hold the upper hand Saginaw by midnight, that's the plan And then the snow blows harder still On covered roads and slip'ry hills This trip will surely test his will... Dream, dream Of a Sunday Dream, dream Safe in bed Dream, dream With the sheets high round your head Home instead Dream, dream Dream, dream... She don't sell d** or ev'ning news She's got those rosebuds in her hand She took those Goodwill, bulky shoes Because she's got so long to stand Down there where the offramp meets with Grand And when the dark cuts off the day She'll drag that box and walk away Back to that place they let her stay... Dream, dream Of a Sunday Dream, dream Safe in bed Dream, dream With the sheets high round your head Home instead Dream, dream... Someday soon the breaks won't bring you down; One day soon you'll wake up safe and sound So now Hadzici's been returned And Tuesday night Ilidza will So many houses here've been burned Their ol' town hall stands smold'ring still m**m cheers and car horns split the chill And though he's far from home tonight And though it's not his fight to fight The cause for peace must mean it's right... Dream, dream Of a Sunday Dream, dream Safe in bed Dream, dream With the sheets high round your head Home instead Dream, dream Dream, dream Dream, dream Dream, dream...
