There are dreams that sail away

To sea

And some that stay at home

There are dreams that stay inside

All day

And never see the light

And if dreams come true

I swear to you

I'll dream of you tonight

In a corner bar the local star

Destroys a passing chord

He sits behind a mason jar

And dreams of his reward

Then he takes one break

And counts his take

A dollar buys a bear

A quarter of his life is gone

And what's he doing here

Times are hard

The old backyard is covered

In cement

The people seem afraid to dream

And dreams don't cost a cent

There are dreams that stay inside

All day

And never see the light

And if dreams come true

I swear to you

I'll dream of you tonight
