i am dreaming a dream of dreaming a dream
as i dream that i am i dreaming
i dream on
on sanity’s lawn
is anything real?
and does it really matter?

In The Summer Rain
Just woke up from one helluva nightmare…I was riding on a bus…And it was rainin’…and the road was flooded about ankle deep…but we kept on going…way faster that we should be goin’…a guy runs in front of us…and gets run over…But we can’t stop…or we know we’re gonna die…and then we hear a radio report…that the river is flooded…it’s out of control…and just about that time…we see a bridge…we must cross over…too late to stop…we know we’re gonna die.
we’ll somehow we get stopped and they can pull the bus out before we get washed over into the river…
The thing is…All through this white knuckle ride through a watery hell i could hear this awesome song playing…Someone who sounded like…but probably wasn’t Joe Cocker was singing it…With gospel chorus singers joining in the call and response chorus…And it did sound like something Joe Cocker would sing…Kinda of gospel feel to it…But i have no idea if this song actually exists or not…It sounded way too good to be anything i’d come up with…
Here is sorta what the song was about…can’t really remember what the verses were…So i just made something up for that and then wrote what i thought the chorus was saying…
(Lyrics)
“Summer Rain”
on this bus
there were only ten of us
most of us
thought it’d be the death of us
no road behind
a flooded bridge ahead of us
no way to reach
the other side
in the summer rain
in the summer rain right now
in the summer rain
in the summer rain right now
in the summer rain
in the summer rain right now
lord!…it’s the summer rain!
the road was wide
but like a water slide
ankle deep
we slipped from side to side
someone tried to cross
but he was washed right out of sight
no way to stop
to take a look behind
in the summer rain
in the summer rain right now
in the summer rain
in the summer rain right now
in the summer rain
in the summer rain right now
lord!…it’s the summer rain!

Now it might have been saying “southern rain” in the chorus…But not the Mel Tillis song…
Anyways i had to write all this down so i wouldn’t forget…just in case this song isn’t real and i dreamed it all up by myself…If i did dream this up myself…I’m also one hell of a record producer because the sound really kicked ass!
The Big Dream
I think sometimes that not getting what i want when i want it is a good thing…Because when i was down at the bottom…that big…impossible…unreachable dream was all i had left to grab hold of…The dream did not come true…But it saved me anyway…Because it made me care a little longer…Care just enough…to make it back home…
Comin’ Home
Call all of my friends…dear mother
i can’t say where i’ve been…dear brother
too tired to sleep…i’m comin’ home
no time for singin’ in the kitchen
gotta let the water do the dishes
it’s too far to reach i’m comin’ home
the dream i had went on for years and years
although i never left my bed
i lived it all through the smiles and tears
hidden like the price upon my head
Call all of my friends…dear mother
i can’t say where i’ve been…dear brother
too tired to sleep…i’m comin’ home
no time for singin’ in the kitchen
gotta let the water do the dishes
it’s too far to reach i’m comin’ home
the time before we lived by different rules
now they don’t recall at all
i feel their breath sing a song of fools
rising like the mountain to the falls
Call all of my friends…dear mother
i can’t say where i’ve been…dear brother
too tired to sleep…i’m comin’ home
no time for singin’ in the kitchen
gotta let the water do the dishes
it’s too far to reach i’m comin’ home

Rocket Ride
if i could i would take a rocket ship and fly
to mars or some other destination in the sky
i just know that i’m meant to go
though it seems sometimes i’ve been before
but my mind is foggy about those days
when i was a child and could dream in space
mom and dad don’t seem to remember at all
about the trip i took when i was small
i want to get back and see again
the sights i must have seen back then
in whispered tones the men in suits did say
you can never reveal that he’s been in space
so no one knows except for me
about the rocket ship with the silver seats
and the lady who told me not to cry
we’re just going on a rocket ride
though i am older no longer a child
yesterdays history still has to hide
but inside my heart will always stay
the dream of once again flying away
