The Dreamer

[thetworegs]

i had a visit this morning when i got to the door there were a couple of Jehovah witness's sprouting the gospel i explained i was an Athiest but he was a nice chap ao we had a little chat about the state of the world and what was to be done when God came to sort it all out as the time was coming soon so he said. He left me a pamphlet and left and i went back to my messing around in the cellar and came up with this one.........

The dreamer sits on the sidewalk
watching the clouds form into shapes
forming symbols for the human race to awake
they told him the world
this world was about to shake

 but, no one would listen  no one heard
they saw him as a dreamer they thought his words absurd

but he could see through the varnish
to how the wood should be       

what he knew he had to say
he preached his gospel everyday

people mocked people laughed people thought him a fool


he tried but no one would listen
he tried  but no one heard
they saw him as a dreamer they thought his words absurd

he told them the world couldn't breath
it told them the world was drowning
he tried to tell them his truth

he told them the bees they were dying
the pollinators of the world
he told themthat the wheat would stop growing
still no body heard

he told them that the poles would start shrinking
He told them that the ice sheets would melt
the dreamer told his truth

nobody listened to a word
nobody heard
people mocked people laughed people thought him a fool

but stillthey never listened to a word

the rain it never came
the sun scorched  the world
still nobody listened
to a word

Hi Reg,

I hear lots of emotion as you sing these honest and truthful lyrics. Great performance and a very important message. I wish the fuckers in power would get off their priveleged arses and fix this.

Cool song, full of passion and lyrics are honest. Love it. The entire planet is on a suicide mission.

I have started to pay real close attention these days, as they are making a whole lotta sense.
Nice work on this tune.

[Johnny Robbo]

Great song, Trev... full of emotion & angst. You do this kind of "soul laid bare" stuff so brilliantly well, mate.

[bruno]

Inspiration comes from the most unexpected source. Great bit of songwriting and story telling.

Just killing it vocally with these last three posts. Just flippin' great.

I had a pastor come to my door last weekend. I told him that I'd love to know where my deceased father is right now, but I didn't have a faith. He said, "Well, I know where my father is." I responded with, "I'm happy for you, but I don't know where your father is. We had a nice chat for a spell, and I politely excused myself to go drink goat's blood.

I may have exaggerated that last part.
