about

This started out as a Monday Week track back in the early 80's, and it was a fast, uptempo song. One of the earlier of the Craig & Gary collaborations, actually written before MW ever started rehearsing. When we were looking thru songs for Strange But True, we took several older tunes and tried reworking them. Hard for me to hear this as a fast song now!

lyrics

Do You Dream
©1998 Craig Evans (BMI) & Gary Walker (BMI)
all rights reserved

He may say that it’s not alright to play, He’s careful not to
All the girls will watch the other side of love
Let him leave you to imagine all your rathers, What you will’s
Someone’s waiting ‘round the corner of the moon

Do you dream on your own?
Do you shine late at home?
After all, he misinterprets what you mean by not alone
You’re not alone

He’ll be back to see where you have been, He’s left to nonsense
Trying vainly, now, to carto the terrain
But he’ll never see the things that you can tell, It’s separate tongues
Take your seat now for the very last detail

Do you dream, is it true? Is there really something new?
Am I really just like you, opening boxes for the few songs?
Tell me what’s so funny?

Let him go, it’s not the same for you, He’ll never listen
Kissing twice is not the same for every girl
Starting cold and timing your prevention, Take it easy
We’re alone at last so button up the world

Do you dream on your own? Do you shine late at home?
Now you’re playing on the avenue, alive but not alone
You’re not alone
