Lyrics The Dream - Ry Cooder

The Dream

I saw her with another man walkin downtown
She’s not mine and she’ll never be by my side walkin downtown
I’ve only met her once before
She was alone in a back booth
A drink and a cigarette
Smoking like she was waiting for someone
Me stealing glances as she stole my breath
The next one’s on me
May i take this seat
The rest of the bar reciedes
We talked on traveling back roads overseas
«Girl, a change sounds good to me»
She said
«who can find that kind of time?»
I’d only met her once before
She was alone in a back booth
A drink and a cigarette
Drinking like she was waiting for someone
Me stealing glances as she stole my breath
The next one’s on me
And after it’s done
The sun comes up and she’s gone
After it’s done
You just move on
A night can show what’s made plain by the sun
I’d only met her once before
She was alone in a back booth
A drink and a cigarette
Smoking like she was waiting for someone
Me stealing glances as she stole my breath
