river of dreams

On a dark December morning
When the sun refused to shine

Spent another sleepless night

Got so much on my mind

Think I finally know whats wrong

I think Ive gotta leave this place behind

So I said wake up, Linda,

Ive had a dream

I dreamed we away moved from here

To a place Id never seen

Where the nights were long and cold

And the air was fresh and clean.

And there we were standing
Underneath the western sky

Beside a home we built ourselves
Way up in the mountains high

And we lived happy there, just you and I

On a river of dreams

Theres no need to worry now

Cause Ive got a plan

We dont need this modern world

Im not a modern man

Were gonna get ourselves off these city streets
Were gonna get back on the land

Theres a whole lot of people out there
Feel just like you and me

Theyd love to pack their leavin trucks

And say goodbye to all their misery

Whatd ya say we pack up that Camaro, honey

And chase the sun until were free

And if I could Id lift you up on angel wings

Wed fly away and never worry about a thing

Wed know the joy and riches a simple life can bring

On a river of dreams, on a river of dreams

So get your things together now

Ill be getting mine

Ive finally got the feeling girl

The sun is gonna shine

You know people dont run out of dreams

People just run out of time

Lets find that place out there
Underneath the western sky

Well build a home ourselves
Way up in the mountains high

Well live happy there til the day we die

On a of river dreams

And well have stars to wish on every single night

Well build a fire and make love by candlelight

Well do our moondance til we get it right

On a river of dreams, on a river of dreams

I can see us standing by the river

Holding hands beside the river
