Dreamt About the Blues








Dreamt about the blues last night

   Offered up my heart to meet the stars
Dreamt about the blues last night
   Offered up my heart to meet the stars
And in the twilight of the dawning
   I thought I heard the sound of steel guitars

The summer came and went
   A briefly blooming flower, then it was gone
The summer came and went
   A briefly blooming flower, then it was gone
In the borning of the morning
   Yesterday's dream becomes a song

Timeless starlight on the water where I lay
Waiting for the breaking waves to bring a brand new day
The dream is over and the song has just begun
May take a lifetime, but it's not the only one

Dreamt about the blues last night
   Offered up my heart to meet the stars
Dreamt about the blues last night
   Offered up my heart to meet the stars
Now in the new light of the morning
   I hear those sweetly moaning steel guitars
