Dreams Shine Through Lyrics

Dreams Shine Through

An old man lay dying beneath cold city skies
An ominous look in his derelict eyes
The moment of death for him had no sting
His soul had the power to grant him one thing
So he said
"Let my dreams shine through,
Let my dreams shine through."

Innes Book of Records Passing nearby was a shiny black car
In the front a chauffeur, in the back a cigar
That lit up the face of a middle-aged man
Who bought and sold stock like nobody can,
And he said
"Let my dreams shine through,
Let my dreams shine through."

Close by two young lovers were gettin' it on
And of all the positions they knew every oneNeil Innes - Dreams Shine Through - http://motolyrics.com/neil-innes/dreams-shine-through-lyrics.html
And after they'd tried every trick in the book
He lay on the bed with a faraway look
Just thinking,
"Let my dreams shine through,
Let my dreams shine through."

Not far away was another big car
This time in the back was a rock an' roll star
And that night at the concert the fans all went wild
As he strummed his guitar and sang through his smile
Singing,
"Let my dreams shine through,
Let my dreams shine through."

Well, the fans went home happy, and so did the star
Likewise the young lovers and the man in the car
But as the old man turned over and died
For the moment all the others felt cold
and empty
inside.
