From the recording All This Time
Lyrics
Street Of Dreams
Look at all those haunted houses on that lonely street of dreams
Look at all those quiet porches
how empty they all seem
Raining cold upon me as I walk this street alone
All the lights are on but is there anybody home
November rains come cold and hard
And they’re darkening the sky
Yesterday’s stains are washed away
And you never said goodbye
On that street of dreams
Lonely lonely street of dreams
Look at all those shadows on that house up on the hill
Think of all the memories on that swing that hangs there still
Rented 8 apartments
with a bathroom down the hall
Broken gate and peeling paint
and shutter about to fall
November rains come cold and hard
And they’re darkening the sky
Yesterday’s stains are washed away
And you never said goodbye
On that street of dreams
Lonely lonely street of dreams
Look at how the leaves lay fallen
and scattered there on the lawn
Listen to the wind and how it sings
a haunted song
Secrets lie in murky pools
If drawers of junk could talk
Shopping carts of rusted hearts
left stranded on the walk
November rains come cold and hard
And they’re darkening the sky
Yesterday’s stains are washed away
And never said goodbye
You and I are kindred spirits
We’re brave against the rain
Look inside then pass on by
And start all over again
On that street of dreams
Lonely lonely street of dreams
