Dreams Lyrics
You say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down?
It's only right that you should
Play it the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat, drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
And what you lost
Players only love you when they're playing
Say, women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You will know, you will know, you will know, you'll know
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams and
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness
Like a heartbeat, drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
What you had
And what you lost
Players only love you when they're playing
Say, women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You will know, you will know, you'll know, you will know
You will know, you will know, you will know
This is such a good song. My favorite line: "When the rain washes you clean, you'll know."
Stevie wrote from her heart with wisdom far exceeding her years, and she was beautiful inside and out. I was priveleged to see her long ago in Oakland CA at a Day on the Green ..it was just before twilight...crispy cool air..the wind tossed her soft blond hair and her filmy black costume encircled her feminine frame as she paced the length of the runway from the stage where fans crowded close... mesmerized by the event. I'll never forget that evening. She did more than just sing. She shared pieces of her own life, ...arms outstretched , she opened the doors to her heart, and her aim was true... Stevie made a solid statement to those who would throw away a true love , a love to whom they vowed never to break the chain that formed over the years of fidelity. It's only right that you make your own decisions But in your solitude you cannot escape the sound of your own heartbeat driving you mad in the stillness with the memory of what you had and what you lost. If you embrace the strength of thunder, remember if there's thunder there's rain. Misery feeds that thunderous strength. Lovers come and go. One day you will know these consequences. Stevie had and has a lot to say..thank you dear sister..Love Marcia in Modesto
