Sitting still as stone watching, watching
People walking by you wondering why
No one ever stops to talk or thinks about it, if they ever did
What if God shuffled by?

One day we might see
Doing not a thing
Breathing just to breathe
We might find some reason

But rushing around seems what's wrong with the world
Don't lose the dreams inside your head
They'll only be there til you're dead
Dream

Lying on the roof counting
The stars that fill the sky I wonder if
Someone in the heavens looking back down on me,
I'll never know
So much space to believe

Funny when you're small
The moon follows the car
There's no one but you see
Hey, the moon is chasing me

I worried if I looked away she'd be gone
Don't lose the dreams inside your head
They'll only be there til you're dead
Dream

Walking through the wood
No cares in the world
The world has come to play
She's all mine just for a day

There's not a moment to lose in the game
Don't let the troubles in your head
Steal too much time you'll soon be dead
So play

All fall down
It won't be so long now
Out of the darkness comes light like a flash
You think you can you think you can
Sometimes that is the problem
Dream little darling dream

Spinning on the wind
The leaf fell from the limb

But everyday should be a good day to die
Oh all fall down
It won't be too long now
Every fire dies
I find it hard to explain how I got here
I think I can I think I can
Then again I will falter
Dream little darling dream

Spinning on the wind
The leaf fell from the limb

    General Comment:Sitting still as stone
    Watching
    People walking by me now
    Wondering why
    No one ever stops to talk or thinks about it
    If they ever did
    What if God shuffled by
    One day we might see
    They're doing not a thing
    Like breathing just breath
    We might find some kind of reason
    But it's rushing around
    seems what's wrong with the world
    Don't lose the dreams inside your head
    They'll only be there until your dead
    So dream
    Lying on the roof
    Counting stars that fill the sky
    I wonder is someone in the heavens looking back down on me?
    I'll never know
    So much space to believe
    Funny when you're small
    The moon follows the car
    There's no one but you see
    Hey the moon is chasing me
    And I worry if I'd look away she'd be gone
    Don't lose the dreams inside your head
    They'll only be there until you're dead
    So dream
    Walking through the wood
    With no cares in the world
    The world says "Come to play"
    And she's all mine just for a day
    And there's not a momen to lose in this game
    Don't let your troubles in your head
    Steal too much time
    You'll soon be dead
    So play
    All fall down
    It won't be so long now
    Out of the darkness comes light
    Like a flash
    You think you can
    Sometimes that is the problem
    Dream little darling
    Dream
    Spinning on the wind
    A leaf fell from a limb
    But everyday should be a good day to die
    Yeah
    All fall down
    It won't be so long now
    Everyone dies
    I find it hard to explain how I got here
    I think I can
    But then again I will falter
    Dream.

    Funny when your small
    The moon follows the car

    Hey! The moon is chasing me

    General Comment:WOW ever since the first time i heard this song on teh Weekened on the Rocks live cd i was absolutley stunded on DMB's ability to create music...this is in my favorite song of his and also in my opinion the most underratted and underplayed song of all!!! I love screaming the words to the pitch change 2/3 of the way through the song and the way it builds up is unbelieveable!!! And it hasent been played since 2004 just until about a month ago ... "This is a song about being a kid" was his opening for reintroducing it this year.. DAVE PLEASE PLAY THSI SONG!!!! and the best version is by far weekwend on the Rocks so check it!!

    General Comment:I love this song... the lyrics are absolutely great. I was at the show that he first played it, and I was so excited that I was one of the first to hear it, because he'd never played it before. I think it's beautiful, and I love his new album, it rocks so much! I'll be seeing him three more times in concert next week, and I can't wait! Hopefully he'll play this once (I'm sure he will)!
