VIETNAM I'M DREAMIN' DREAMIN' ON
©1989 - music and words by John R. Black, ℗ 42nd Street Music Seattle
At night I lay here dreamin'
Wondering where I should be
Telling myself I'm floating
On some lonely silent sea
And the passage is long and weary
And the nights are cold and dark
Will I ever reach the shoreline
Before Vietnam breaks my heart
(Chorus:)
Vietnam I'm dreamin' dreamin' on
Vietnam I'm dreamin' dreamin' on
Vietnam why are you my song
Vietnam how am I gonna get you gone
At night I lay here dreamin'
That tomorrow's finally here
And I'm stone cold sober
No more dark nights to fear
And the passage is long and cheery
I'm feelin' more than fine
I shook the pot and the whiskey
And took Vietnam from my mind
(Chorus)
And now I'm no longer dreamin'
I am where I should be
Sailing alone with my darlin'
On a drug-free silk-smooth sea
We're peaceful and together
No passage do we fear
We can sail or walk these waters
'Cause Vietnam you're not here
(Chorus x2)
Vietnam I know I'm gonna get you gone
Vietnam I know I'm gonna get you gone
