Song Description

Real dream as a child. Real events as an adult.

Lyrics

I dreamt I saw the Hindenburg burning right on my front lawn
Next morning joy was gone for years
Foggy nights, all I did was to hold on
Too numb to move, too hurt for tears, for break of dawn

Guess sometimes joy must take a very long road, a very long road
Sometimes joy must lose its way
Sometimes joy must take a very long time, a very long time
To find the light of day, the break of day
Then I watched my love die right on your living room floor
Cut off once I'd had my say
Felt my heart keep beating but wondered whatever for
And how to find the light of day

Guess sometimes love must take a very long road, a very long road
Sometimes love must lose its way
Sometimes love must take a very long time, a very long time
To find the light of day, the break of day

Now standing here I hesitate just how next to move along
So alone except for fear
Gone South so fast I have, at last, only this song
To drink up as my cup of cheer

Guess sometimes hope must take a very long road, a very long road
Sometimes hope must lose its way
Sometimes hope must take a very long time, a very long time
To find the light of day, the break of day
