Ry Cooder
Dreamer
[Verse 1]
I wonder would you like to meet a dreamer
Will you share a glass or two
Of red, red wine and you might find
I'm a simple one like you

[Verse 2]
What do you drive? I like Chevrolet
They don't make them like they used to do
If it's Japanese, please don't feel ashamed
Come sit here with me, there's just room for two

[Verse 3]
Can you remember trolleys passing by?
Quiet streets leafy trees at twilight time
Vernon Green used to sing "The Letter"
He lived down on the corner, he was a friend of mine

[Verse 4]
My brother passed, it's been two years
He's resting now in Glendale town
We're all together in this picture here
Trenta y Ocho boys in his '39

[Verse 5]
Yes I've lapsed I must confess
Missed communion since he's gone
I'm drinking more, here's another glass
Please don't go when the night is young
[Verse 6]
I wonder would you like to meet a dreamer
Would you share a thought or two
Of a vanished time and you might find
That you' re a dreamer too
