Simple Dreams

Pretty as a moonbeam
With the saddest eyes
You’d ever care to know
She spent her sleeveless Summer days
Down in the fields below

Rising at the crack of dawn
Water over blackened hands
Feet falling soft upon the sundrenched land

A simple girl
She believed in dreams
Simple dreams
Simple dreams
Simple dreams

Safe to say his life was different
His family from the other side of town
Filled with a richness and a promise
That never let him down

Off to work each morning
Strolling when the evening came
Passing by the people
And the people knew his name

A simple man
He believed in dreams
Simple dreams
Simple dreams
Simple dreams

Dream on – dream on little girl
Dream yourself away
To a better world
With your simple dreams

Late one Autumn evening
Down among the brittle leaves
Where the river follows fast
Among the tired trees

Someone swore he saw her
Surrender with a subtle sigh
Trembling as he held her
Beneath an open sky

Dream yourself away
To a better world
With your simple dreams
Your simple dreams
