Bob Dylan's Dream Lyrics - Album 1700 - Peter, Paul & Mary

While riding on a train goin' west 

I fell asleep for to take my rest 

I dreamed a dream that made me sad 

Concerning myself and the first few friends I had 

With half damp eyes I stared to the room 

Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon 

Where we together weathered many a storm 

Laughin' and singin' 'til the early hours of the morn 

By the old wooden stove where our hats were hung 

Our words were told and our songs were sung 

We longed for nothin' and were satisfied 

Talkin' and a jokin' about the world outside 

With haunted hearts through the heat and cold 

We never thought we could get very old 

We thought we could sit forever in fun 

Though our chances really were a million to one 

As easy it was to tell black from white 

It was all that easy to tell wrong from right 

Our choices were few and the thought never hit 

That the road we traveled would ever shatter and split 

How many a year has passed and gone 

Many a gamble has been lost and won 

And many a road taken by many a first friend 

And each one of them I've never seen again 

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain 

That we could sit simply in that room once again 

Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat 

I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that 

While riding on a train goin' west 

I fell asleep for to take my rest 

I dreamed a dream that made me sad 

Concerning myself and the first few friends I had
