| 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 what’s wrong
|
| I think I’ve gotta leave this place behind
|
| So I said wake up, Linda
|
| I’ve had a dream
|
| I dreamed we moved away from here
|
| To a place I’d 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
|
| There’s no need to worry now
|
| Cause I’ve got a plan
|
| We don’t need this modern world
|
| I’m not a modern man
|
| We’re gonna get ourselves off these city streets
|
| We’re gonna get back on the land
|
| There’s a whole lot of people out there
|
| Feel just like you and me
|
| They’d love to pack their leavin' trucks
|
| And say goodbye to all their misery
|
| What’d ya say we pack up that Camaro, honey
|
| And chase the sun until we’re free
|
| And if I could I’d lift you up on angel wings
|
| We’d fly away and never worry about a thing
|
| We’d 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
|
| I’ll be getting mine
|
| I’ve finally got the feeling girl
|
| The sun is gonna shine
|
| You know people don’t run out of dreams
|
| People just run out of time
|
| Let’s find that place out there
|
| Underneath the western sky
|
| We’ll build a home ourselves
|
| Way up in the mountains high
|
| We’ll live happy there 'til the day we die
|
| On a river of dreams
|
| And we’ll have stars to wish on every single night
|
| We’ll build a fire and make love by candlelight
|
| We’ll 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 |
