Livin` On Dreams Lyrics

Fred Tackett, Craig Fuller, Bill Payne, Paul Barrere 



Another grey dawn another day gone 

Deeper in debt as the night draws in 

There's something inside me 

Rings like a melody 

Pullin' my heart like a frozen wind 

  

Seems like most of my life's spent gettin' by day to day 

Fendin' off new hard times arrival 

Little by little I try as the days go by 

Waitin' around on some kind of luck's revival 

  

There's a full moon risin' just about midnight 

A high tide comin' 'round just about dawn 

But I know it can't last 

Livin' on dreams and the shadows they cast 

Got to be strong 

One of these days I gotta be gone 

Been livin' on dreams just a little too long 

  

The sleep comes hard and money does too 

So I wake up worried in the mornin' light 

As the sun comes through the tears in the window shades 

It don't seem fair that it has to be such a fight 

The women keep comin' 'round 

Spendin' my hard earned pay 

Bent on the minimization of my survival 

Been holdin' me down 

But one fine day 

Gonna break these chains of denial 

  

There's a full moon risin' just about midnight 

A high tide comin' 'round just about dawn 

But I know it can't last 

Livin' on dreams and the shadows they cast 

Got to be strong 

One of these days I gotta be gone 

Been livin' on dreams just a little too long 

  

Little by little I try as the days go by 

To find some way to break these chains of denial 

  

There's a full moon risin' just about midnight 

A high tide comin' 'round just about dawn 

But I know it can't last 

Livin' on dreams and the shadows they cast 

Got to be strong 

One of these days I gotta be gone 

Been livin' on dreams just a little too long
