Lyrics Bonnie Raitt

Bonnie Raitt

Streetlights

I heard a voice come through on my telephone line

Told me that it was your time

I thought that they were fooling

They were fooling me

And then I remember having this dream of mine

When it came down on me

I was told by a friend of mine

That it don’t matter if your dreams, they bother you

Your dreams won’t happen unless you only want them to

So I asked him for a ride

He said, “Hop on board, girl

I been waitin’ here for you”

I thought I had nothin’ left to lose

Where’d you say you’d be tonight

Streetlights are all I see

All I wanted on that ride

Was just a little kindness, a little kindness shown my

way

I found myself runnin’ out of ideas on how to say

It just got to be somethin’ more than I could take

But that summer somehow we were havin’ fun

Your magic took me by surprise

Where’d you say you’d be tonight

Streetlights are all I see

And now I know the feelin’s right

Yes I know the feelin’s right

‘Cause just last night you came into my dreams

Yes you did, yes you did

I heard a voice come through on my telephone line

Told me that it was your time

I thought that they were fooling

They were fooling me

And then I remember having this dream of mine

When it came down on me

I said it came down on me—Oh

Where’d you say you’d be tonight

Streetlights are all I see

And now I know the feelin’s right

‘Cause just last night you came into my dreams

I heard a voice come through on my telephone line

Told me that it was your time
