Daylight Dreamer lyrics

Here`s the half-finished painting of a girl that I started last December

Here`s the first three pages of my novel bout I don`t really remember

Here`s my Martin guitar that I never quite learned how to play

That`s the daylight dreamer wishful thinker`s way



I had a Harley bike but I traded it off to a feller

For the Astroglass boat that`s still sittin down in my cellar

I bought a tape recorder and found I had nothin` to say

That`s the daylight dreamer wishful thinker`s way



I got an exercise machine man I`d be glad to let you try it

This well it`s a Leika Camera maybe you`d like to buy it

I can get you a real good deal

I just need enough money to buy myself some modeling clay

Yeah that`s the daylight dreamer wishful thinker`s way



On the day that I die they`ll be talking about the dearly departed

And they`ll say he never ever finished nothin` that he started

But I started this song man I`m gonna finish it today

Yeah that`s the daylight dreamer



(How was it...daylight...oh wish...wishful...think...what were it...

I forgot I forgot the words

Listen... anyway... why don`t we just take a break and finish it later you know

Cause I could sure use a sandwich

I wanna get myself a BLT or something

And listen... right near the restaurant there`s a great old bookstore.

Right near the restaurant

They got all these great old books... great old comic books...they got Batman)
