Lee Ranaldo - Waiting On a Dream

Coming in for Colorado, taking a late-night jet out of the snow
I need to see your face tomorrow, just an hour or two before you go
Hangin' around four days and nights I'm coming back to see your point of view
I can see through all the glitter and baubles, that's the reason now I'm coming home to you

I'm leaving town so you better take hold
I'm steppin' out for the river of old
Everybody's hustling for a place on the screen
But I'll hang around and share your dream

They say time always runs like a river, tell me then, kindly, how come I ain't got no time?
Risks and illusions tempt me to hold on, hey brother can you spare a dime?

I'm hanging around wherever you go
I'm headed down to the river of old
I'm tryin' to step out of this scene
I'd like to step into your dream

I know exactly what you mean, I know the secrets that you dream

Every street I walk alone, every girl upon a throne
Every glad hand full of gold, trying to reach down into your soul

Hanging around with saints and sinners, losers, winners, I try to pay no mind
I can see thru all that shakes and quivers, every loveless soul strung out on the line
There's a golden light in the sky tonight, where 10,000 soldiers stand with feet of clay
Secrets to be told will keep for the night and we will soon be on our way

I'm leaving town so take a good hold
Carry me back to the rivers of old
It's a blood-red curse that'll set you free
Standing in the snow, waiting on a dream

I know the secrets that you need, you know exactly what I mean
I know the secrets that you dream, your upside down and painted green
I know the secrets that you need, I'm tryin' to climb out of this scene
