Hi all, had a great couple of days in Norfolk, people friendly, weather kind and big helpings in the restaurants. Just had time this afternoon to bang out this old classic. Hope you enjoy.

Hey Mr Dreamseller where have you been
Tell me have you dreams I can see
I came along just to bring you this song
Can you spare one dream for me

You won't have met me and you'll soon forget me
So don't mind me tugging at you sleeve
I'm asking you if I can fix a rendezvous
For your dreams are all I believe

Meet me on the corner when the lights are coming on
And I'll be there I promise I'll be there
Down the empty streets we'll disappear into the dawn
If you have dreams enough to share

Lay down you bundles of rags and reminders
And spread your wares on the ground
Well I've got time if you're dealing in rhyme
I'm just hanging around

Meet me on the corner when the lights are coming on
And I'll be there I promise I'll be there
Down the empty streets we'll disappear into the dawn
If you have dreams enough to share

Hey Mr Dreamseller where have you been
Tell me have you dreams I can see
I came along just to bring you this song
Can you spare one dream for me

Hey Mr Dreamseller where have you been
Tell me have you dreams I can see
I came along just to bring you this song
Can you spare one dream for me

Great cover Willie - remember this song being out during my first year at grammar school.  its around the time I started wanting to play guitar and this would have been one of the songs that inspired me at the time. Great to hear it again -

I still have the "Fog On The Tyne" album this song came from. Brilliant rendition of an overlooked classic, Willie. If you're doing requests, can I please suggest "Run For Home" another great Lindisfarne song :)

Couldn't place this tune, but I enjoyed its jangly goodness. Nice, positive vibe to it, and I always dig your singing.
