Текст песни Just a Dream - Bert Jansch

A-walkin' along on a summer day
When I met a man come the other way
I said, "How do you do, my friend?
How do you do today?"
He looked so pale, his face was drawn
He said "My friend, I wish I'd never been born
I'm a-lookin' for my long-lost soul
I had it only yesterday
Now there was a time when I could build a ship
I'd build it proud and strong
On the seven seas it would sail along
And now it's only just a dream"

I met a woman on the same highway
I looked in her eye but she turned away
I said, "How do you do, my friend?
How do you do today?"
She said, "In this land there's a place for me
A paradise and the water comes free
Or is it just a crazy dream
That's floatin 'round inside my head?
Now there was a time we would stand and fight
Instead of turnin'
Let our voices sing out in harmony
And now it's only just a dream"

Hand in hand came a boy and a girl
He whistled a tune, she sang a song
I said, "How do you do, my friends?
How do you do today?"
"Now we don't know what we should learn
What books to keep, what books to burn
What a funny old world this is!
Keeps changing from day to day
Now there was a time when it was right and wrong
It was black and white
It was easier to get along
Now it's only just a dream"
