  • Well there's a dreamer in my dreams
    Swinging from the beams
    With light shining off the snow

    Well there's a singer in my heart
    Burning up my charts
    With songs about things we all know

    Well there's a blister on his brain
    That's driving him insane
    Cause all good things they gotta go

    Well there's a child on the way
    It could be any day
    But how this life will change him
    That we don't know

    Well there's a child on the way
    Gonna look just like him
    One day, he's gonna say
    "Ain't you my dad?"

    Then he's gonna look down and smile
    And after a while, he'll say,
    "That's for sure, cause you got my eyes."

    Well there's a dreamer in my dreams,
    He's hanging from the beams
    With a light shining off the snow

    There's a blister on his brain
    It's driving him insane
    And all good things have to go
    Alright

    There's a dreamer in my dreams
    Swinging from the beams
    With a light shining off the lake

    Well I know I've made mistakes
    I'm passing them on
    But I hope he gets up before dawn
    Alright

    (Yeah, that's it)

    There's a dreamer in my dreams
    Climbing up the back
    Of a car they used to call a Cadillac

    It's got a brand new set of keys
    It's got a new look, it's got a new look
    And he's gonna, he's gonna take it all the way

    (I'm leaving)

    There's a dreamer in my dreams
    Swinging from the beams
    All jacked up in my garage

    He's hanging from a belt
    He don't know what he's done
    Just don't forget to say goodbye when he's gone
