lyrics

Meet me in the sunlight on the banks of Webster Stream
Where the heron warms his back and the jaybird sings his theme
I'll be sitting on a rough stone, washed up like debris
From the flood of springtime dreams

Show me where the mayflies hatch and peepers hum
I'm tired of standing tall for when the next work call comes
How dreary to be somebody displayed on the marquee
Of the flood of springtime dreams

We hear the men of action, their cowboy philosophy
They say this world is to be lived, that God created it for thee
We'd love to be good ole boys, but all we seem to see
Is a flood of springtime dreams

They howl, "money in your pockets, girls around your sleeves,
Faster running horses, as many guitars as you please"
Some folks can ride that wave, but I'm just drowning on my knees
In the flood of springtime dreams

I'm waiting on the eyes of the one that I adore
She doesn't have a name, though I've caught her scent before
The highest stations we may claim are apparitions on the screen
Of her flood of springtime dreams

Feed me to your servants, but save my heart for thee
My eyes will be more savory for you're the last they'll see
I cast myself into the fire that burns away this worldly scene and return recast
In the flood of springtime dreams

Meet me in the sunlight on the banks of Webster Stream
