Shel Silverstein

Daylight Dreamer
Here's the half-finished painting Of a girl that I started last December Here's the first three pages of my novel 'bout I don't really remember Here's my Martin guitar that I never quite learned how to play. That's the daylight dreamer, wishful thinker's way I had a Harley bike, but I traded it off to a fella For the Astroglass boat that's still sittin down in my cellar I bought a tape recorder and found I had nuthin' to say. That's the daylight dreamer, wishful thinker's way I got an exercise machine. Man, I'd be glad to let you try it. This... well it's a Leika Camera. Maybe you'd like to buy it. I can get you a real good deal. I just need enough money to buy myself some modeling clay. That's the daylight dreamer, wishful thinker's way On the day that I die, they'll be talking about the dearly departed And they'll say he never ever finished nuthin' that he started But I started this song... man, I'm gonna finish it today Yeah... that's the daylight dreamer.... [stops singing and playing] [spoken very fast:] Listen... anyway... why don't we just take a break and finish it later, you know? 'Cuz I could sure use a sandwich. I wanna get myself a BLT or something. And listen... right near the restaurant there's a great old bookstore... right near the restaurant. They got all these great old books... great old comic books. They got Batman.... [fade] From Letras Mania
