Lyrics
9. BLUE HALTER DRESS
I woke up with a crazy dream,
About some girl who fell in love with me.
I guess I need to find somewhere new,
Where a dream has a chance of coming true.
There’s a train goes over the mountains,
Rolls along toward the deep blue sea.
I guess I’ll join that Zephyr journey,
And untangle the jingle-jangle me.
Chorus:
My life goes on like a faded dream,
Things I wish that are never seen.
Her blue halter dress slit high and low,
Leaves imagination not far to go.
I will ride with window travelers,
Hope catchers, dream dabblers.
I will wrap my soul in nature,
As trees and mountains, river valleys and birds fly by.
(Chorus)
I will play some songs and will listen,
To the stories that people tell.
I expect no answers, but there’s a woman with blue eyes,
She held me close, so warm, and last week said goodbye.
(Chorus)
