These Dreams Lyrics

These Dreams lyrics

Paul Foglino 

Every day I get up and the day begins
And every day I dig a hole and I fill it in
People say, "You`re crazy, man, now don`t you care
But I know there`s treasure buried right down there
I watch my dreams collect like dirt around a poor boy`s neck
These dreams shine like diamonds
Down in my soul
These dreams shine like diamonds
And I`m digging for coal
Sometimes it gets so hard to bear
When people look at me like I`m not even there
Or ask me what I`ve got to say
And nod their heads like it don`t matter anyway
They don`t pay me any mind cause I`m too dumb or they`re too blind
I see people get ahead
Or people eating cake instead of daily bread
But I ain`t got it all that rough
If dreams don`t take me anywhere they seem to take me far enough
It ain`t much but it`s okay to sleep all night and dream all day
