Glenn Frey River Of Dreams lyrics

On a dark December morning
When the sun refused to shine
Spent another sleepless night
Got so much on my mind
Think I finally know what`s wrong
I think I`ve gotta leave this place behind

So I said `wake up, Linda,
I`ve had a dream
I dreamed we moved away from here
To a place I`d never seen
Where the nights were long and cold
And the air was fresh and clean`

And there we were standing
Underneath the western sky
Beside a home we built ourselves
Way up in the mountains high
And we lived happy there, just you and I
On a river of dreams

There`s no need to worry now
`Cause I`ve got a plan
We don`t need this modern world
I`m not a modern man
We`re gonna get ourselves off these city streets
We`re gonna get back on the land

There`s a whole lot of people out there
Feel just like you and me
They`d love to pack their leavin` trucks
And say goodbye to all their misery
What`d ya say we pack up that Camaro, honey
And chase the sun until we`re free

And if I could I`d lift you up on angel wings
We`d fly away and never worry about a thing
We`d know the joy and riches a simple life can bring
On a river of dreams, on a river of dreams

So get your things together now,
I`ll be getting mine
I`ve finally got the feeling, girl
The sun is gonna shine
You know people don`t run out of dreams
People just run out of time

Let`s find that place out there
Underneath the western sky
We`ll build a home ourselves
Way up in the mountains high
We`ll live happy there `til the day we die
On a river of dreams

And we`ll have stars to wish on every single night
We`ll build a fire and make love by candlelight
We`ll do our moondance `til we get it right
On a river of dreams, on a river of dreams
I can see us standing by the river
Holding hands beside the river
