lyrics

I dig too deep and I get bogged down
But if I had wings I'd leave the ground
And fly just as far as I could from this town
If I had wings I'd leave this town

I search the sea but I never find a pearl
But if love knew me I'd smile at the world
And I'd make you so happy, make you my girl
If love knew me you'd be my girl

A poor man's dream ain't nothing but a shadow
The ghost of things he'll never do
But every now and then that old sun shines
On a poor man's dream coming true

I've been everywhere forever on my own
But if you answered my prayer never would I roam
And wherever you are I'd call that my home
If you answered my prayer then where would I roam?

A poor man's dream ain't nothing but a shadow
The ghost of things he'll never do
But every now and then that old sun shines
On a poor man's dream coming true
