I recall when they would say No one lives for just one day Don`t save dreams that can`t be sold Don`t chase rainbows, just their gold Tried in their way, tried it mine I won my race before my time But golden trophies, fancy toys Don`t compare to childhood joys
Walk beside me darlin` come listen to the rain And watch the rollin` water to ease your pain again When night comes down to free us, and sorrow`s finally gone I long to hear your secret dreams and rock you in my arms
There lived a nation proud and free It tried to show us harmony But we stood much too close to see To read the hand of destiny I know a child who`s only seen A sunrise on the silver screen she never watched the birds in flight Or saw the dew by morning light
Walk beside me darlin`, come hear the howlin` wind He`ll be a true companion, he`ll listen like a friend When night comes down to free us, your sorrow finally gone I long to hear your secret dreams and rock in my arms
