Loudon Wainwright Dreaming Lyrics

Dreaming Lyrics

I'd rather be dreaming than living
Living's just too hard to do
It's
chances not choices
Noises not voices
A day's just a thing to get
through
Living's just too hard to do

I'd rather be dreaming than
talking
There's nothing to hear or to say
With ears covered mouth
closed
The world is opposed
Nothing gets in or away
There's nothing to
hear or to say

I'd rather be dreaming than thinking
Thoughts are small
comfort to me
Dreams might be pretend
But at least dreams end
And I
just can't stop thinking you see
Thoughts are small comfort to me

I'd
rather be dreaming than sleeping
Just sleeping you're just as well dead
In
dreams I can fly
In dreams I don't die
That's why I lie here in this
bed
Just sleeping you're just as well dead

I'd rather be dreaming
