The Dream - Ry Cooder

I saw her with another man walkin downtown

She’s not mine and she’ll never be by my side walkin downtown

I’ve only met her once before

She was alone in a back booth

A drink and a cigarette

Smoking like she was waiting for someone

Me stealing glances as she stole my breath

The next one’s on me

May i take this seat

The rest of the bar reciedes

We talked on traveling back roads overseas

«Girl, a change sounds good to me»

She said

«who can find that kind of time?»

I’d only met her once before

She was alone in a back booth

A drink and a cigarette

Drinking like she was waiting for someone

Me stealing glances as she stole my breath

The next one’s on me

And after it’s done

The sun comes up and she’s gone

After it’s done

You just move on

A night can show what’s made plain by the sun

I’d only met her once before

She was alone in a back booth

A drink and a cigarette

Smoking like she was waiting for someone

Me stealing glances as she stole my breath
