Shel Silverstein - Daylight Dreamer Lyrics

Lyrics Daylight Dreamer - Shel Silverstein



Here′s the half-finished painting of a girl that I started last December
Here's the first three pages of my novel bout I don′t really remember
Here's my Martin guitar that I never quite learned how to play
That's the daylight dreamer wishful thinker′s way
I had a Harley bike but I traded it off to a feller
For the Astroglass boat that′s still sittin down in my cellar
I bought a tape recorder and found I had nothin' to say
That′s the daylight dreamer wishful thinker's way
I got an exercise machine man I′d be glad to let you try it
This well it's a Leika Camera maybe you′d like to buy it
I can get you a real good deal
I just need enough money to buy myself some modeling clay
Yeah that's the daylight dreamer wishful thinker's way
On the day that I die they′ll be talking about the dearly departed
And they′ll say he never ever finished nothin' that he started
But I started this song man I′m gonna finish it today
Yeah that's the daylight dreamer
(How was it... daylight... oh wish... wishful... think... what were it...
I forgot I forgot the words
Listen... anyway... why don′t we just take a break and finish it later you know
Cause I could sure use a sandwich
I wanna get myself a BLT or something
And listen... right near the restaurant there's a great old bookstore.
Right near the restaurant
They got all these great old books... great old comic books... they got Batman)
