Drinking and Dreaming
by Lyle Berry (Age: 61)
copyright 08-04-2001


Age Rating: 18 to 127

 
Both of us out here painting our towns
At opposite ends of the Earth
Neither one cheating or fooling around
Just escaping the lonelies and hurts

We’re toasting each other round after round
Dancing in shared reveries
A fairy tale princess and a rodeo clown –
Drinking and dreaming that dream

Drinking and dreaming that dream!
The one where we kiss and the music goes on for Eternity_____________!
Where I hold you so close as we whirl past the stage
Where we’re dizzy from dancing, but the band plays and plays
More in love than we’d dreamed two could ever be!
Drinking and dreaming that dream!

Some good old boy eyes you, some old gal hits on me,
But we’re not really there don’t they see?
They don’t know we’re lost in our faraway scene,
And we’re drinking and dreaming that dream

Drinking and dreaming that dream!
The one where we kiss and the music goes on for Eternity_____________!
Where I hold you so close as we whirl past the stage
Where we’re dizzy from dancing, but the band plays and plays
More in love than we’d dreamed two could ever be!
Drinking and dreaming that dream!

Drinking and dreaming that dream!
The one where we kiss and the music goes on for Eternity_____________!
Where I hold you so close as we whirl past the stage
Where we’re dizzy from dancing, but the band plays and plays
More in love than we’d dreamed two could ever be!
Drinking and dreaming that dream!

I can hear the music, Lyle -- I'm reading this as the intoxication of dreaming, rather than an alcoholic song!
Really enjoyed it!

OH, great now I am dancing and drinking. Just
kidding, I loved this, Very well done.

Point well taken Beverly. Like so many modern lyrics, this one depicts a fantasy realm. Drinking of course solves nothing. The song merely depicts the similar reactions of the two separated wannbe lovers, with the drinking and dreaming as a lyrical hook more than a solution to social dilemma. Thanks for the response to my song.

Thanks also to Sharon, Mary and Robert. This one isn't done yet, but I have a melody rattling around in my old bald head. It is a fast country waltz.

Lovely song/poem Lyle. Still I wonder, drinking and dreaming the dream. What happens when the drinks wear off and reality sets in?




04-01-2001 Sharon B.    

Yes this one reads perfectly like a song! Brava! imagery and emotion flows well here. I enjoyed it!




04-01-2001 Mary -BrytEyz- Ball    

Drinking and dreaming... an all too familiar scene! Now it's just the dreaming that's killing me. *smile*
