Gareth Dunlop - Dreamers Lyrics
You had a busy day todayYou got a long night aheadThere’s too much on my plateToo many dreams patiently waitAs you crawl through your lifeWatchin’ the time roll byA suitcase full of empty dreamsSits on a train that never leavesAnd you cry how far to San FranciscoWhen do we walk in MemphisWhen do we ride the trainsAll the way across the state of TexasWhere d’you think you wanna be?A ticket for anywhere, one way pleaseHow long are you prepared to waitBefore you jump that rolling freightAnd it takes you in your dreamsAnd your heart thats bursting at the seamsThat old train whistle cries for youYou’re too late, once again it’s passed on throughAnd you cry how far to San FranciscoWhen do we walk in MemphisWhen do we ride the trainsAll the way across the state of TexasYou spend your lifeIn an old leather office chairThat’s been passed downFrom the last guyWho never made it anywhereWhat’ll you do, when you found that placeWhere the sun shine’s heavy and the rain falls lessWill you miss the life that wasDead-end streets and dead-end jobsOr do you see another dreamThat only dreamers seeYou wait for another rolling freightThat never comesAnd it just lets you know who you areAnd then you still cry how far to San FranciscoWhen do we walk in MemphisWhen do we ride the trainsAll the way across the state of TexasHow far to San FranciscoWhen do we walk in MemphisWhen do we ride the trainAll the way across the state of Texas
