Lyrics The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Oleanna

I sit in the late afternoon with my back turned towards the sun

Drifting off in memories to a day when I was young

Slipping into the darkness, across the gulf stream a warm breeze blows

I can smell your sweet perfume, feel the sand beneath my toes.

Oleanna, I hear your voice at night

Calling me to come to you and splash in the moonlight

Oleanna, down beside the sea

You're a dream this dreamer keeps waiting there for me.

I awake from the dream just as the sun slides to the sea

Slipping under the ocean like the way you went from me

Ooh, the waves crashed and I heard your call, felt the emptiness within

I had love I thought I'd lost but soon I'll hold you again.

Oleanna, I hear your voice at night

Calling me to come to you and splash in the moonlight

Oleanna, down beside the sea

You're a dream this dreamer keeps waiting there for me.

I can feel you, I can touch you, I can hold you, yes, you're waitin' there for me

I can feel you, I can touch you, I can hold you, yes, you're waitin' there for me

Oleanna, waitin' there for me.

Oleanna, I hear your voice at night

Calling me to come to you and splash in the moonlight

Oleanna, down beside the sea

You're a dream this dreamer keeps waiting there for me.

I can feel you, I can touch you, I can hold you, yes, you're waitin' there for me

I can feel you, I can touch you, I can hold you, yes, you're waitin' there for me
