Bruce Springsteen - Look Toward The Land lyrics
[Bruce Springsteen - Look Toward The Land lyrics]
Live performance
Well, I dreamed I was a gypsy riding the land
With a tambourine and a gypsy queen
And a rainbow caravan
Happy old land sailor, yeah
That's what I want to be
Stealing diamonds from the rich men
To throw in the sea
Singing look toward the land
'cause the land holds the key
Keep an eye on the land and an eye on man
Well, I dreamed I was a cabin boy
On an American Clipper line
Watering flowers for the captain
That they may not wilt
Bringing cargo to colonies of South Caroline
On the best ol' Clipper Dave Mckay ever built
Singing look toward the land
'cause the land is the key
Singing keep an eye on the land
And an eye on the sea
Well, I dreamed I was your lover
'Cause that's what I want to be
And I dreamed that every night
You dreamed only of me
And we walked along the beach, and ooh
We held hands
And I told you you were my only woman
And I was your only man
Singing look toward the lovers
For they are the key
Keep an eye on the lovers
And an eye on the war machine
Yes I dreamed I was a
Captain of a river queen
Caressing Mississippi waters down
To New Orleans
Yeah, a happy ol' riverboat captain
That's what I'd like to be
And I'd let you ride my honey
I'd let you ride her for free
Singing look toward the river
'Cause the river's the key
Keep an eye on the river
And an eye on the sea
Well, I dreamed I was your friend
'Cause that's what I want to be
And every night, you had dreams
And they were all of me
We'd walk all the streets together
Hand in hand and be kind to the women
And the women be kind to the me
Well, I dreamed I was a gypsy riding the land
With a tambourine and a gypsy queen
And a rainbow caravan
Happy old land sailor, yeah
That's what I want to be
Stealing diamonds from the rich men
To throw in the sea
Singing look toward the land
'cause the land holds the key
Keep an eye on the land and an eye on man
Well, I dreamed I was a cabin boy
On an American Clipper line
Watering flowers for the captain
That they may not wilt
Bringing cargo to colonies of South Caroline
On the best ol' Clipper Dave Mckay ever built
Singing look toward the land
'cause the land is the key
Singing keep an eye on the land
And an eye on the sea
Well, I dreamed I was your lover
'Cause that's what I want to be
And I dreamed that every night
You dreamed only of me
And we walked along the beach, and ooh
We held hands
And I told you you were my only woman
And I was your only man
Singing look toward the lovers
For they are the key
Keep an eye on the lovers
And an eye on the war machine
Yes I dreamed I was a
Captain of a river queen
Caressing Mississippi waters down
To New Orleans
Yeah, a happy ol' riverboat captain
That's what I'd like to be
And I'd let you ride my honey
I'd let you ride her for free
Singing look toward the river
'Cause the river's the key
Keep an eye on the river
And an eye on the sea
Well, I dreamed I was your friend
'Cause that's what I want to be
And every night, you had dreams
And they were all of me
We'd walk all the streets together
Hand in hand and be kind to the women
And the women be kind to the me
