Dreams Of A Working Man

I wander through the city at night

watch it fill with life and color

I smile it’s all new to me

Anything new is treasure

The city speaks to me

speaks to me in my dreams

It wants me to help it through

These metamorphoses

My mama says

I got too much time on my hands

She says these are not the dreams

Of a working man

I follow my thirsty tongue

It takes me to the river

The people there say this is where we live

This is where we find our pleasure

Here we are! This is ours!

You don’t know how welcome you are

Drink to your health

It’s the only thing you’ll always need

My mama says

I got too much time on my hands

She says these are not the dreams

Of a working man

Solo

My mama says

I got too much time on my hands

She says these are not the dreams

Of a working man

The lady at the door to destiny says

I can’t pay enough to enter

I wait outside and weigh my pain

Alien & Weathered

The way she speaks to me

Shatters my serenity

I get inside & shadowbox

The genesis while David plays

My mama says

I got too much time on my hands

She says these are not the dreams

Of a working man

I know my mama says

I got too much time on my hands

She says these are not the dreams

Of a working man

No these are not the dreams

Of a working man
