Lyrics

I’ll Dream Of It Once In A While
by John Comerford

I dreamed I was a sailor, far away on the ocean so blue
The wind for my guide I would swagger with pride, every course that I set would be true
There wouldn’t be no one to say what to do, ‘cept the captain and the one-eyed first mate
We’d hoist up the sails and tell our tall tales, bury treasure we’d accumulate
And I’d never look back at this broken-down town, I’d make it my first rule of thumb
I’d be famed far and near as a brave buccaneer, drinking whiskey and chasing with rum
The only thing wrong is you wouldn’t be there, and I never could see your sweet smile
So I guess that I’ll not be a sailor, though I’ll dream of it once in a while
I’ll just dream of it once in a while, Yes, dream of it once in a while

I dreamed I was a trucker, out alone in a deep winter’s storm
The engine would groan and the chilly winds moan, but in my cab I’d be cozy and warm
Like a real desperado searching for El Dorado, of bravado I’d have all I’d need
Passin unknown locations and gasoline stations, sippin’ whiskey and puffin’ on weed
And I’d never think twice ‘bout what’s waiting behind, that’s the first thing a trucker should learn
Bygones are bygones and what’s done is done, all the bridges you cross should be burned
The only thing wrong is you wouldn’t be there, and I never could see your sweet smile
So I guess that I’ll not be a trucker, though I’ll dream of it once in a while
I’ll just dream of it once in a while, Yes, dream of it once in a while
