Don't Dream Its Over

[minkyboodle]

For NOLA

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me


Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win


Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page


Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief


Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't ever let them win

1. I always listen to Neil Finn when I'm sad.

Hell, I listen to Neil Finn when I'm happy too. But his voice and his lyrics always seem to comfort me. Thank you.

2. Ah, Crowded House. Other covers suck.

Now you just have to find the "Big Country" song lyrics.

4. I actually liked

Six Pence None the Richer's cover of it. :shrug:

3. Thank you.

That's just what I needed.

5. Oh, man.

Don't get me started on 80s tunes.

A lot about the 80s sucked, but there was a lot of damn good music then, too.

New Orleans will rock again.

Mardi Gras 2006!!!

6. My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof

I had a tee shirt with that on it....

Saw them back in 87 or 88 in a small theatre....

They were suppose to open up for Bruce Hornsby, but they were delayed and so did another concert with Los Lobos......

7. i like that song, hubby has an arrangement for guitar...

in drop D tuning...sweet if while sad stuff

[no name no slogan]

8. Would he be willing to share it?

I normally play it in standard tuning, but I bet it would be quite pretty in drop-D.
