River Of Dreams

On a dark December morning
When the sun refused to shine

Spent another sleepless night

Got so much on my mind

Think I finally know what's wrong

I think I've gotta leave this place behind

So I said wake up, Linda,

I've had a dream

I dreamed we away moved from here

To a place I'd never seen

Where the nights were long and cold

And the air was fresh and clean.

And there we were standing
Underneath the western sky

Beside a home we built ourselves
Way up in the mountains high

And we lived happy there, just you and I

On a river of dreams

There's no need to worry now

Cause I've got a plan

We don't need this modern world

I'm not a modern man

We're gonna get ourselves off these city streets
We're gonna get back on the land

There's a whole lot of people out there
Feel just like you and me

They'd love to pack their leavin' trucks

And say goodbye to all their misery

What'd ya say we pack up that Camaro, honey

And chase the sun until we're free

And if I could I'd lift you up on angel wings

We'd fly away and never worry about a thing

We'd know the joy and riches a simple life can bring

On a river of dreams, on a river of dreams

So get your things together now

I'll be getting mine

I've finally got the feeling girl

The sun is gonna shine

You know people don't run out of dreams

People just run out of time

Let's find that place out there
Underneath the western sky

We'll build a home ourselves
Way up in the mountains high

We'll live happy there 'til the day we die

On a of river dreams

And we'll have stars to wish on every single night

We'll build a fire and make love by candlelight

We'll do our moondance 'til we get it right

On a river of dreams, on a river of dreams

I can see us standing by the river

Holding hands beside the river
