Dreams - Willis Earl Beal

Put boots to the floor, get the keys to my car

Gonna drive to ya, baby, no matter where you are

I don’t give a goddamn if it seems like I’m out of line

You know I’m just holding sand in these everchanging times

Oh, I wake up in dreams, and I’m dreamin' of you

It’s like I’m floatin' downstream, don’t know where I’m floatin' to, no

When you hold my hand, though my mind is filled with so much doubt

You’re like a maze, pretty mama, and I never really want to get out

Oh, I think of you and me compared to the myths of old

It’s like a fairy tale, baby, the greatest story ever been told

I know you work hard, mama, you got your feet on solid ground

But you can treat me like a statue, you can just keep me around

Oh, I wake up in dreams, and I’m dreamin' of you

It’s like I’m floatin' downstream, don’t know where I’m floatin' to, no

When you hold my hand, though my mind is filled with so much doubt

You’re like a maze, pretty mama, and I never really want to get out

And the ways, may we know

Through the days, may we go

Through the maze, how I know

As a wind, it would blow

Over seas, through the trees

Through the air, may we roll

Past the bird in the feather

With the dust, not

And the word is forever, ever trust, peace to woe

Not a love can I speak

Not a way can I seek

Through the shroud of the night

To the proud and the meek

Pass a door as it creak

Hear the whistle, feel the leak

And the ways, may we know

Through the days, may we go

Through the maze, how I know

As a wind, it would blow, it would blow

It would blow, it would blow, yeah

Oh, I wake up in dreams, and I’m dreamin' of you

It’s like I’m floatin' downstream, don’t know where I’m floatin' to, no

When you hold my hand, though my mind is filled with so much doubt

You’re like a maze, pretty mama, and I never really want to get out

Oh, I think of you and me compared to the myths of old

It’s like a fairy tale, baby, the greatest story ever been told

I know you work hard, pretty mama, got your feet on solid ground

You can treat me like a statue, you can just keep me around

Oh, I wake up in dreams, and I’m dreamin' of you

It’s like I’m floatin' downstream, don’t know where I’m floatin' to
