Dreamer ('72-'09 Redux)

Daryl Hall&John Oates

Album: Do What You Want, Be What You Are: The Music of Daryl Hall & John Oates Durasi: 3:25

Don't you know that you're a dreamer?

You'd rather stay inside yourself

Than look out at the world

"A penny for your thoughts"

Your mother used to say

But now you're on your own

How much must I pay?

You know your dreams, they make you live alone

Live alone, you die alone

What happens when your hair's gray?

They say that dreams are wasted on the young

And like the dream you are

You pale and slowly fade away

Anyone can be a dreamer

Who needs reality?

It's more fun to pretend

Like a badly written song

You ramble on without direction

And stumble to a pointless end

Days go by but you don't notice

You're too locked inside your dream world

As time just disappears

While others have their loves, have their laughs, cry their tears

You sit and watch the days turn into years

You know your dreams, they make you live alone

Live alone, you die alone

What happens when your hair's gray?

They say that dreams are wasted on the young

And like the dream you are

You pale and slowly fade away

They say that dreams are wasted on the young

And like the dream you are

You pale and slowly fade away
