Dreamin' or Lyin'
Copyright 1997 - Will Pete
A Golden Hit song; a dream, a fantasy, an insanity? A song; a friend, a comrade, an enemy? What else would I do?

THE STAGE STANDS COLD AND LONELY
HER MUSIC HAS FADED AWAY
THE RHYTHM OF MY HEART ECHOES SADLY
I CLEAN UP AT NIGHT AND WRITE SONGS IN THE DAY
AS THE BROOM CLOUDS THE DUST FROM THE DANCE FLOOR
I DREAM OF A GOLDEN HIT SONG
AND MY LEAD SHEET THE BASS MAN WOULD GIVE HER
HE KNEW I'D BEEN HOPING SO LONG
WRITING SONGS ALWAYS MAKES ME HAPPY
ODD JOBS KEEP ME IN NEW STRINGS
THE MINUTES TURN TO YEARS SO LONELY
MY TEARS FALL TO SMILE WHEN I SING
WELL THE STAGE IS THE LAST OF MY DUTIES
IT MUST BE SPOTLESS NO CORNER UNTURNED
THERE I SWEEP UP MY CRUMBLED OLD LEAD SHEET
THE PAIN IN MY CHEST STARTS TO BURN
I TURN OUT THE LIGHT AND LOCK THE BACK DOOR
AM I DREAMIN OR LIVIN A LIE
BACK HOME I SIT DOWN WITH MY GUITAR
I WRITE BETTER STILL WHEN I CRY
WRITING SONGS ALWAYS MAKES ME HAPPY
ODD JOBS KEEP ME IN NEW STRINGS
THE MINUTES TURN TO YEARS SO LONELY
MY TEARS FALL TO SMILE WHEN I SING
