Dont Ever Dream by J.M. Kearns published on 2024-02-16T17:25:59Z TRACK NOTES Strangely enough given the title, the verse melody of this song came to me in a dream, in which I was watching a stranger play it on a guitar. I woke up and found the words (and the chorus) in a day or so, starting with the very first line. It's about a couple's journey.

LYRICS I will stay when the weather is warm And drink to your health, far from the storm In the sun, we’ll dance really slow And sit on the cliff where the green river rolls CHORUS: But don’t ever dream You will find Me walking away When life is unkind Don’t ever dream You will see Me turning my back When you’re down on your knees If you find a mouse in your bed I’ll go for a ride, and free it instead When the cold and the wind and the rain Are shaking the house, and you are in pain CHORUS Instrumental I will stay when life is a bore And I’m much too old to laugh anymore, When the light is starting to fade You’ll sing me a song ’bout that plan that we made: I will stay when the mist on the lake Is lifting at dawn and there’s coffee to make We will sail in a crimson canoe, Away from the world, and bid it adieu Away from the world, and bid… it… adieu.
