Albert Grossman - Bob Dylan's Dream lyrics

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; Where 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 as it was to tell black from white It wasn't 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 pa**ed and gone And 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
