The Robbie Gennet Band - The Dream Lyrics

Tonight, no one's on parade
The big charade is wearing thin
And time is moving in second hands
He stands there with a paper and a grin

And what does he know
I thought I had the dream
Wish I could have seen you in a movie as a child
But I don't know

Can I go back in time
Once when you were mine, you let it show
And love, fading like summer days
Stripped away the haze inside my soul

And what does she know
I thought I had the dream
Wish I could have seen you in a movie as a child

A tree's best measured when it's down
But then all chances for growth are over
And I'm only bothered by the sound
Of all this time ticking away

Can you tell if I was right or wrong
You left me with a song I couldn't sing
And life, it leaves so much to chance
So leave me here to dance upon this string

And what do I know
I thought I had the dream
I wish I could have seen you in a movie as a child
But I don't have any reason to be kind
Would you mind
No I don't have any reason to be kind
I don't have any reason to be kind

Mama says you don't mind playing the fool
You know she's a
Now I'm on time and I say that I'm better than you
You know that she's alone
