Waiting on a Dream Lyrics by Lee Ranaldo

Between the Times and the Tides

0

[Instrumental Intro]

[verse 1]
Coming in from Colorado, taking a late night jet out of the snow
I need to see your face tomorrow, just an hour or two before you go
Hangin' around for days and nights, I'm coming back to see your point of view
I can see through all the glitter and baubles, that's the reason now I'm coming home to you

[Chorus 1]
I'm leaving town so you better take hold
I'm steppin' out for the river of old
Everybody's hustlin' for a place on the screen
But I'll hang around and share your dream

[Verse 2]
They say time always runs like a river
Tell me then, kindly, how come I ain't got no time?
Risks and illusions tempt me to hold on
Hey brother can you spare a dime?

[Chorus 2]
I'm hanging around wherever you go
I'm headed down to the river of old
I'm tryin' to step out of this scene
I'd like to step into your dream

[Bridge]
I know exactly what you mean
I know the secrets that you dream
Every street I walk alone
Every girl up on a throne
Every glad hand full of gold
Is trying to reach down into your soul

[Verse 3]
Hangin' around with saints and sinners, losers, winners, I try to pay no mind
I can see through all that shakes and quivers, every loveless soul strung out on the line
There's a golden light in the sky tonight, where then thousand soldiers stand with feet of clay
Secrets to be told we'll keep for the night and we will soon be on our way

[Chrous 3]
I'm leavin' town so take a good hold
Carry me back to the rivers of old
It's a blood red curse that'll set you free
Standing in the snow, waiting on a dream

[Outro]
I know the secrets that you need
You know exactly what I mean
I know the secrets that you dream
You're upside down and painted green
I know the secrets that you need
I'm tryin' to climb out of this scene
