Lyrics

I Had a Dream - Live '78

I had a dream last night

Last night I had a dream

Everything was black and white

And it smelled like gasoline

We stood in the corner

And I held you tight

I kissed your mouth

Till my head got light

Last night when I had a dream

I had a dream last night

Last night I had a dream

Birds were flying left and right

Thru the light of a movie screen

Everyone was looking

For something to do

I even thought

I had a chance with you

Last night when I had a dream

Shalalalalala

Shalalalalala

Shalalalalalalala

Shalalalalala...

I had a dream last night

Birds were flying left and right

Everyone was looking

For something to do

I even thought

I had a chance with you

Last night when I had a dream

I had a dream last night

Last night I had a dream

Everything was black and white

And it smelled like gasoline

We stood in the corner

And I held you tight

I kissed your mouth

Till my head got light

Last night when I had

Las night when I had

Last night when I had a dream
