Milky Way Dreams

There’s a place I go to find my way
Spent some time there just the other day
All relations to the past are gone
All tomorrows falling from the throne I put them on
No investments…no more scheming mind
Left my troubles rotting on the vine
Open road just begging for a ride.

     Looking back now one last time
     Passing through like yesterday’s wine
    Wondering if I’ve ever seen the light of day
     Blinded by the Bright Lights on the way……Yeah yeh

Now I got the wind at my back
Got the sunshine in my face
Seeing better now where I‘m going
Look to me like a better place

     Saw a star through the smoke and screens
     Out there in the Milky Way Dreams
     In a flash another answer came
     This is it…nothing left to explain

(Chorus)

I can promise those days are over
Once a fool …now a knower
And a whole lot of life left to lead

Holdin on to what was always
History’s just a passing phase
No more walls left for us to peel

It’s all been a dream but You and I are Real…that’s Real



  (B-section)
     Another broken promise passing by
     Didn’t care how hard you tried
     Take a hold of shifting sand
     Disappears right through your hand

     Satisfied and unsatisfied
     On the wheel it’s all the same
     Going to make you cry
     Time to say good-by
    Up and Down and Away.

Borderline …we just crossed over
High on a moon-lite beam
Feel your arms around my shoulders
Safe inside the Golden Stream

     Letting go an even keel
     Punch a hole through the 7 seals
     Nothing wrong with being extreme
    Don’t you want to hear yourself scream?

(Chorus)

I can promise those days are over
Once a fool but now a Knower
And a whole lot of life left to lead

Holdin on to what was Always
History’s just a passing phase
No more walls left for us to peel
It’s all been a dream but you and I are Real…that’s Real
