Dream Street 04:35
DREAM STREET Dream Street, I drink your champaign, I've laid in your gardens, Sometimes I think I shouldn't complain, I should be seeking your pardons, But Dream Street, I've been in your shops, I've bought your confections, Now my doctor's been giving me shots so I can pass the inspections, Dream Street, you've been a friend, but we both know its nearly the end of this faded rainbow - Dream Street, I've been drinking your wine, I've bathed in your fountains, But we both know its nearly the time I go run to the mountains, Dream Street, its been great for a while, I know I'll remember your smile when I'm living in the clear blue - Someday we'll both look back, we'll sigh and then we'll laugh all about it, Someday, when this dance is through, we'll say, that's what children do, no doubt about it - Dream Street, I know your tricks, I know your seductions, You're there just to give me the fix and plan your abductions, Just wait until some beautiful morn, you'll wake and find that I'm gone down that ribbon highway - Repeat chorus Now I'm lost, o man, don't I know, but that's my commission, To sink down about as low as you go, then to rise is my mission, Dream Street, take me on down, take me to the last light in town, then just watch me go running

BABY GOT GONE She coulda gone east, she coulda gone west, She coulda gone mad along with all the rest, Coulda gone too quick, coulda gone slow, Coulda gone too high, might've been low, No, don't you worry, baby's all right, Living in the ether, riding on the light, now, Can you tell me that I'm wrong, baby got gone She coulda gone north, coulda gone south, Coulda gone circles, running all about, Coulda gone fat, coulda gone thin, Coulda gone far out, might've caved in, But baby's alright now, she's doin great, Drifting in the willows, laughing at fate, And it's down the lazy river, baby got gone Some think she crossed the border to dream in Mexico, Alas, she left no bread crumb trail, she was standing in the village square, Then one second later she wasn't there She coulda gone up, coulda gone down, Coulda gone lazy, coulda been too strong, Coulda gone nasty, coulda gone bad, Coulda gone crying, coulda been sad, No, don't you worry or wail in remorse, Baby gone riding on a pale horse, She did not do wrong, baby got gone You say you saw her just now, alive and looking fine, But you don't get my meaning, friend - yeah, she's alive in a bright red dress, But still she's outa here nonetheless She coulda gone wild, crazy in the town, Coulda gone sideways, coulda gone round, Coulda gone sneaky, might've gone loud, Coulda gone shouting, coulda gone proud, But baby's in the light now, feeling no grief, Halfway through to heaven, whatever your belief, And that's all I'll pass along, baby got gone

Wondering 02:30
WONDERING Think I'll just take a walk down this one and only block, This only place where I am living, I wonder at the grazing hills, always worth a thousand thrills And rippling in the morning mist that's hanging, I wonder at the silent trees and all the patterns of their leaves, I wonder what they're trying to tell me, I wonder at the secret code of all the pebbles on the road And how am I to understand them Seems that I have lost the ways that I had in hungry days When everything was certain, Now I wonder at the wind and all the voices there within, And I feel I can almost understand them, I wonder 'bout that girl I see walking by the chestnut tree, Might she be a golden deva strolling? I wonder at my very hands and how they move at my commands, And I wonder where this gravel road is going Now I find myself in town, blinking hard and looking 'round, Wondering at these people who all know me, For everybody in my sight is a beam of blinding light, If only I could find a way to tell them I wonder now 'bout my old friend, what she's done and where she's been, And I'm hoping that she's happy

MAY I LIVE SO LONG I hear the message, I heard it plain, I hear it murmuring inside the rain, It's telling me that all the clouds will part, Revealing life anew inside the broken heart, So grab your dance shoes from the bottom drawer, Then discard that dsk cuz you don't need it anymore, The time is coming on, may I live so long All my sons and daughters, all my earthly kin Will find themselves full-throated once again, Jane forgiving Annie, Annie forgiving me, Me forgiving every count of hate and treachery, There's people tending gardens, people spreading seeds So Old Joe will desire only what he needs, The time is coming on, may I live so long People's dreams seem crushed to dust, They watch their sacred hopes go bust, There's nothing now that they can trust to save them, The Grand Hotel ain't coming back, The cinema will fade to black, Lets deal with this fact is what I'm saying People will be saying, this don't make sense, my friend, Things are falling faster than we can build them up again, There's fires everywhere, we're drowning in the smoke, Who would give a quarter for such a foolish hope? I say, that's okay, just let these things fall down, That'll leave a space for grace for the day thats coming round, The time is coming on, may I live so long

THE END OF THE DREAM Here at the end of the highway, we're walking the hard roads That bend through the night, Now the dream is no longer, so let us go seeking Original light Here at the end of the dream old magic is dying In a slow fading burn, Here at the end of the dream new magic is calling And we've got to learn I have danced in the moonlight one time too many, You take what I mean, I've lived in beautiful mansions but I'll live where I need to At the end of the dream Here at the end of the dream now we awaken To face down the storm, Now at the end of the dream we open our eyes up And angels are born Now that the dream is all over we see through the shadows At the end of the road, It's time for us to start speaking, lets tell all the stories That need to be told Oh how the mighty have fallen, they reached for the railing And it wasn't there, Here at the end of the dream there is nothing but hard ground, Nothing but air Here at the end of the dream we got a good notion Of where to begin, Here at the end of the dream it will be a long time Til we sleep again

We Pass Away 04:10
WE PASS AWAY Before the night has fallen Let us say what we must say, Let us leave behind A path that he children find, Lets be knowing we pass away They say some will rise to heaven And right there forever stay, Til we rise above Lets live in this flesh and blood, Lets be knowing we pass away Clouds go rolling on, rolling til they're gone There's a voice inside the river As it runs along its way, Come and hear its song By the light of a loving dawn, Always singing, we pass away
