Darrell Scott - The Dreamer lyrics
[Darrell Scott - The Dreamer lyrics]
So the shepherd boy says to
His lady in waitin'
Give me your heart but give me some time
I'm not without hope and I'm not hesitating
Myself and my treasure to find
And i'll make my way back by
The light of your heart
In the darkest of night your flame I will see
And we'll dance in the moon and
We'll raise us some babies
Forever our souls will be together
So he sells off his flock for
A pick and a shovel
And a fine leather bag to hold all that gold
And he takes her soft hands one
Last time how he loves her
With the winds of change blowin' cold
Well goodbye Tennessee here I come Colorado
I'll piss in your streets and
Sleep in your hills and I'll fill up my bag
With your turquoise and silver
Suzanne, I always will love you
That night she lay still with
The cold winds a blowin'
& the sound of the whippoorwill
Callin' through the trees
Hey that man with the soul
The size of a pickle
Well he's left you to do as you please
So she moves into town and
Enrolls in a college
And gets her a job with a teaching degree
Said to hell with you fool
You dreamer James Butler by God I'm gonna be
Happy
Of course he comes back with
Holes in his pockets
But ready to claim what he
Thought was still his
She had a new house in town
And a doctor for a husband
And a nursery school full of kids
So he finds him a rope
Strong enough for a hangin'
With his heart full of sorrow
He finds him a tree
But he can't take his life so he
Takes out his pen knife and carves
I'll always be a dreamer
A dreamer a dreamer
His lady in waitin'
Give me your heart but give me some time
I'm not without hope and I'm not hesitating
Myself and my treasure to find
And i'll make my way back by
The light of your heart
In the darkest of night your flame I will see
And we'll dance in the moon and
We'll raise us some babies
Forever our souls will be together
So he sells off his flock for
A pick and a shovel
And a fine leather bag to hold all that gold
And he takes her soft hands one
Last time how he loves her
With the winds of change blowin' cold
Well goodbye Tennessee here I come Colorado
I'll piss in your streets and
Sleep in your hills and I'll fill up my bag
With your turquoise and silver
Suzanne, I always will love you
That night she lay still with
The cold winds a blowin'
& the sound of the whippoorwill
Callin' through the trees
Hey that man with the soul
The size of a pickle
Well he's left you to do as you please
So she moves into town and
Enrolls in a college
And gets her a job with a teaching degree
Said to hell with you fool
You dreamer James Butler by God I'm gonna be
Happy
Of course he comes back with
Holes in his pockets
But ready to claim what he

And a doctor for a husband
And a nursery school full of kids
So he finds him a rope

With his heart full of sorrow
He finds him a tree
But he can't take his life so he
Takes out his pen knife and carves
I'll always be a dreamer
A dreamer a dreamer
