Careful What You Dream lyrics - Marc Cohn

He’s traveling down the road tonight
His heart his heavy but his load is light
He fakes to the left and he moves to the right
On this lonely road tonight
He moves to the right

He drops a penny into a wishing well
Nobody hears him as far as he can tell
He sees a thousand other wishes lying there
And so he wonders if the gods will care
If the gods are gonna care

And I know you are feeling lonely and blue
But all good things will come to you
Here is what I want you to do
Be careful what you dream
Be careful what you dream
Be careful what you dream
Because it might come true

I see him standing with moon in his eyes
There is so much I want to tell him
But I wonder if there lies
I know he don’t believe in no miraculous surprise
And there is so much I want to tell him
But I wonder if they're lies

So I am traveling down the road tonight
Once I dreamed I was a singer
When I woke up I was right
I’m Most time in the darkness
But I’m headed for the light
So dream yourself a dream
Out on the road tonight

I know you are feeling lonely and blue
But all good things will come to you
Here is what I want you to do
Be careful what you dream
Be careful what you dream
Be careful what you dream

Because it might come true

Be careful
Be careful
Be careful what you dream
