lyrics

I left my home in the woods
Drove to the city where the living was good
I played all night in a bar
Lived on my tips and I slept in my car

I met a girl named Anne
She played the fiddle and we started a band
She was someone I adored
Got a place in Brooklyn that we could afford

We played show after show
And talked every night about a life on the road
We said that nothing could tear us apart
Oh well, I guess we're dreamers at heart
Dreamers at heart

Over time, things got tight
Shows became scarce and we started to fight
I got a job in the spring
When no one would pay to hear me sing

She went to London in May
Said she would write if she decided to stay
In August, she finally came home
She couldn't pay the rent so she started to roam

And every night i'd lie awake
Thinking about all the give and take
What happened to our fresh new start?
I don't know if we're dreamers at heart
Dreamers at Heart

I lost my job in the fall
I read that the economy had hit a wall
I couldn't pay for my dream
And every silver lining has a broken seam

I left the city for good
But I would still write her whenever I could
And even though we're apart
More than ever we're dreamers at heart
More than ever we're dreamers at heart
Dreamers at heart
