| [00:03.78] |
While riding on a train goin' west, |
| [00:10.65] |
I fell asleep for to take my rest. |
| [00:16.95] |
I dreamed a dream that made me sad, |
| [00:25.77] |
Concerning myself and the first few friends I had. |
| [00:38.98] |
With half-damp eyes I stared to the room |
| [00:45.78] |
Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon, |
| [00:51.28] |
Where we together weathered many a storm, |
| [01:01.64] |
Laughin' and singin' till the early hours of the morn. |
| [01:13.27] |
By the old wooden stove where our hats was hung, |
| [01:20.00] |
Our words were told, our songs were sung, |
| [01:25.58] |
Where we longed for nothin' and were quite satisfied |
| [01:35.64] |
Jokin' and talkin' about the world outside. |
| [01:48.62] |
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold, |
| [01:55.21] |
We never thought we could ever get old. |
| [02:01.32] |
We thought we could sit forever in fun |
| [02:11.24] |
But our chances really was a million to one. |
| [02:56.75] |
As easy it was to tell black from white, |
| [03:03.17] |
It was all that easy to tell wrong from right. |
| [03:09.44] |
And our choices were few and the thought never hit |
| [03:19.37] |
That the one road we traveled would ever shatter and split. |
| [03:35.41] |
How many a year has passed and gone |
| [03:42.25] |
And many a gamble has been lost and won |
| [03:48.09] |
And many a road taken by many a friend |
| [03:58.19] |
And each one I've never seen again |
| [04:18.41] |
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain |
| [04:23.77] |
That we could sit simply in that room again |
| [04:29.69] |
Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat |
| [04:41.74] |
I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that |
