Dreaming My Dreams lyrics

I stand before you now
A soldier of this war
I lay my weapons down
To fight no more
I'm tired of being weak
And trying to ignore
That it was never me
You're looking for

There seems to be no answer
All is lost of love
When being who you are
Is not enough

I am still who I am
The one you called your own
But now your tender ways
Have turned to stone

There seems to be no answer

Oh, if I cross your path again
Who knows where or who knows when
On some mountain without number
On some highway without end
Don't grasp my hand and say
'Fate has brought you here today'
Oh, fate is only foolin' with us, friend

(Chorus:)
Keep your distance
Keep your distance
Oh, when I feel you close to me
What can I do but fall
Keep your distance
Keep your distance

I've got a never ending love for you
From now on that's all I want to do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd have a never ending love for you

After all this time of being alone
We can love one another
Feel for each other, from now on, oh
It feels so good I can hardly stand it

Never ending love for you
From now on that's all I want to do
From the first time we met I knew

I can tell by lookin' at the shadows across the wall
Without pickin' up, who it is, who decided to call
It's late and you're all tore down
You woke up darlin' and found
You ran another one off and you want somebody to blame
But there's nobody here by that name

While you carry on about another who broke your heart
Well, I remember the night you tore my world apart

She's a little more than a child herself
Than the children of her own
All her living's done for someone else
The only life she's ever known
All the dreams and desires that she had
She had to put 'em all on hold

While another young heart became an old soul

River of life keeps rushing by
She just rolls with the flow
She's seen it all through world weary eyes

Did you ever meet somebody that likes all the same things you do
Somebody who can make you or break you anytime they want to
I met him at a red light, love at first sight, can it be true
He's good for me and he told me I was good for him, too

Now, I don't want to jump into anything
I've been trying to use some self restraint
But man it's amazing he's the same kind of crazy as me

Well, there's a boy down Shelby Gap
And I like sittin' on his lap
I'm his gal and he's my man
We been makin' weddin' plans

Brought him home to meet my ma
She raised Cain and dropped her jaw
"Girl, you're crazy as a bat, you ain't gonna marry that"

Looka here mama, looka here daddy
This is my true love, we're gonna get married
Ain't a gonna hem-haw, ain't a gonna tarry

When I reach the place I'm going
I will surely know my way
And I will turn and look inside me
Bid farewell to one more day

Every light begins with darkness
Every flower was once a seed
And with the sun and wind to test us
We are bound to be released

I will fly beyond this valley
I will open up the gate
And when I reach the place I'm going
I will surely know my way

Just when every ray of hope was gone
I should have known that you would come along
I can't believe I ever doubted you
My old friend the blues

Another lonely night, in a nameless town
If sleep don't take me first, you'll come around
'Cause I know I can always count on you
My old friend the blues

Lovers leave and friends will let you down
But you're the only sure thing that I've found
