Dream, Dream

The signal lights jerk in the wind
And snow blows off the road like sand
The driver squints and sets his chin
He's got to hold the upper hand
Saganaw by midnight, that's the plan
And then the snow blows harder still
On covered roads and slippery hills
This trip will surely test his will

Dream dream of a Sunday
Dream dream safe in bed
Dream dream with the sheets high 'round your head
Home and steady
Dream dream
Dream dream

She don't sell drugs or evening news
She got those rosebuds in her hand
She took those Goodwill bulky shoes
Because she's got so long to stand
Down there where the off-ramp meets with Grand
And when the dark cuts off the day
She'd drag that box and walk away
Back to that place they let her stay

Dream dream of a Sunday
Dream dream safe in bed
Dream dream with the sheets high 'round your head
Home and steady
Dream dream

Someday soon the brakes won't bring you down
One day soon you'll wake up safe and sound
So now Hadji's been returned
And Tuesday night he'll lead your will
So many houses here been burned
Their old town hall stands smoking still
Muslim cheers and car horns split the chill
And though he's far from home tonight
And though it's not his fight to fight
The cause for peace must mean it's right

Dream dream of a Sunday
Dream dream safe in bed
Dream dream with the sheets high 'round your head
Home and steady
Dream dream
Dream dream
Dream dream
Dream dream
