A dream

lyrics

I had a dream that I saw Woody and Will
They’d made camp at the foot of some hill
There was no sound and no wind was blowin’
There was no fire they were both just glowin’

They were waiting on someone but it wasn’t me
I was just there to witness some kind of trinity
One where no one was a god no one was even a king
They were just three windows
Looking at how things used to be
Oh please tell me please tell me
Who will that third one be

Grandpa he used to sing ‘”Wreck of the Old ’97”
He made it sound like that conductor
Skipped the ditch and instead found heaven
Yesterday was his funeral, there at the top of the hill
I got to thinking ‘bout them old ghosts like anybody will

And then off in the distance he came walking up slow
It was like looking in a mirror when he got up close
He said ‘’would you fellas know just where it is I might be?’
First they both looked at him then they both looked at me

Then Woody grabbed his guitar and he started to strum
Will looked up over his glasses
And the new guy started to hum
And pretty soon he was singing like it was all just beginnin’
The first lines of a dream, wreck of the old ‘97
