Dream House

I think i found my dream house

But someone else got to it first

Kinda funny how that works

Up the old brick walkway

To the pool house in the rear

I can see my life right here

There's a garden

And great big kitchen

And the walls so thick with history

They try to steal it

All I want is

To lock myself away with you

If only dreams came true

I think I like my hometown

But I can't find a place to land

Where the ceiling's high enough to stand

But I'd like to root down

Where the sunlight takes her turn

And a basement down below to do my work

In the hallway

Hang up all your pictures

All the moments I forgot to smile but captured in time

All I want is

To spend another night with you

If only dreams came true

I try to run the numbers

What could I afford to keep or to lose

Time doesn't want to love you

All I know is that I do

I think I found my dream house

But the walls are caving in

Like a project that won't end

But there's a garden

And a great big kitchen

And the walls so full of memories

You can't unfeel it

All I want is to spend another life with you

If only dreams came true
