The Future

Everything around here makes me sad
Everything is part of the dreams that we had
That will never be the way
We wanted them to be
When we dreamed these dreams that we had
We wanted them to be the future
That is now is not how we dreamed of the future
With an abstinent love
That would ride into the future

With my arms around you tight
My love in your heart
My lust, on your shoulders
Like beautiful red barrettes
Flashing gallant as a Stallone on parade
Through the city

Of the beautiful dream
A bohemian love song
That would only sound more gallant
As the years would perfect it
But I can see in my heart
Which is beating in the present here and now
I can see that this is only a dream

Come on and wake up with me
[ Jolie Holland Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Hey come on and wake up with me
Hey come on and wake up with me

Everything around here is so beautiful
Everything is part of the dreams we will paint
That will never look the way
We thought that they would look

When we began to step into the future
From the place that we are standing
It don't look too good right now
But I know you're a wonderful painter

You're a master with your colors
And as mine get fainter in your pallet
There will always be an afterglow
Of our beautiful dream
That will never be the way
We dreamed it to be, but hey

Come on and wake up with me
Hey come on and wake up with me
Hey come on and wake up with me

From our beautiful dream
