(Chorus)
Am7 Em7 G
Your dream is a good dream.
D C D
Your dream is fine.
Am7/G
I watch the water roll down the stream
G/D D C/G
And I know it'll never be mine.
G/D
You dream of the warm and green
Am7 D C/G
And I dream of the dark and the cold.
G/D
You dream of the world you've seen
Am D Em7
And I just see the world growing old.
(Em7) Am7 C/G D Em7
I know you're a dreamer – I see it when I look in your eyes.
Am7 C/G D C/G
You tell me the things you see and I'm afraid you're telling me lies.
G Em7 A
You speak of a world at peace, where man can live as one with the Earth,
C/G Am7 C/G D
But the dream I see there in your eyes is gonna tie me to the world of my birth.
There's a beauty in balance, a rightness to a life on the land.
A place too for prudence, for not consuming all that you can.
And maybe it's wrong of me, thinking that your dreams are too small,
But all I see's the winter that is waiting there to follow the fall.
(Bridge)
C/G G D C/G
I dream of rocket ships, I dream of stars.
C/G G D Am
I dream of man expanding past this world of ours,
D C G
For in a finite world, all things must reach their end
Em Am7 D
And waiting for the twilight's not a dream I can defend.
I know that you love this world, and you should know that I love her too.
I hate the balance that would keep me from the things I must do,
For I would break your peace and roll the dice to pay for the plan.
I'd gamble our poor world away to buy an infinite future for man.
(Chorus twice)
Am D
And I just see the world growing old.
