Dreamer

The Dreamer G. Barrett, C. Anderson VERSE 1 Her mother told her all her life That she was born to teach Her dad was sure that any dream Was well within her reach Verse 1(B) But when she ran away with him All they had to say of him He'll give you lots of lonely nights As he takes his turn with the tumbling dice CHORUS But she loved that crazy dreamer Mad inventor, foolish schemer The dance steps change at every turn Sometimes it takes a life to learn CHORUS (B) What do you do, when you wanna help someone And they just don't see the need Maybe you simply love em And show them you believe VERSE 2 And so they made their way out west To find a new hometown But the truck, the joy and the love affair Were destined to break down VERSE 2 (B) And when they parted ways for good She was bound for motherhood She knew she'd wanna raise that child But bring that girl up on her own CHORUS Oh she loved that crazy dreamer Mad inventor foolish schemer The dance steps change at every turn Sometimes it takes a life to learn CHORUS (B) What do you do, when you wanna help someone And they just don't see the need Maybe you just need to love em And show them you believe BRIDGE To sing the song that can't be sung To find the fountain that keeps you young To do the thing that couldn't be done The voice on the wire, the man on the moon CHORUS (Out-tro) George Barrett Lead vocals, acoustic guitar Brian Keane Acoustic and electric guitars, piano, organ Dave Anderson Bass Shawn Pelton Drums, tambourine, shakers Dennis Collins, Amandi Homi, Eugene Ruffolo Background vocals Produced and arranged by Brian Keane
