Livin' on Dreams

Another grey dawn another day gone

Deeper in debt as the night draws in

There's something inside me

Rings like a melody

Pullin' my heart like a frozen wind

Seems like most of my life's spent gettin' by day to day

Fendin' off new hard times arrival

Little by little I try as the days go by

Waitin' around on some kind of luck's revival

There's a full moon risin' just about midnight

A high tide comin' 'round just about dawn

But I know it can't last

Livin' on dreams and the shadows they cast

Got to be strong

One of these days I gotta be gone

Been livin' on dreams just a little too long

The sleep comes hard and money does too

So I wake up worried in the mornin' light

As the sun comes through the tears in the window shades

It don't seem fair that it has to be such a fight

The women keep comin' 'round

Spendin' my hard earned pay

Bent on the minimization of my survival

Been holdin' me down

But one fine day

Gonna break these chains of denial

There's a full moon risin' just about midnight

A high tide comin' 'round just about dawn

But I know it can't last

Livin' on dreams and the shadows they cast

Got to be strong

One of these days I gotta be gone

Been livin' on dreams just a little too long

Little by little I try as the days go by

To find some way to break these chains of denial

There's a full moon risin' just about midnight

A high tide comin' 'round just about dawn

But I know it can't last

Livin' on dreams and the shadows they cast

Got to be strong

One of these days I gotta be gone

Been livin' on dreams just a little too long
