Dreams of home
They're all I've got to get me through the night ahead
City streets
I hear shouts beneath my window
I hear every word some passing stranger said
Then I turn my thoughts to everyone
Who's ever been a friend
Till I'm quieted and don't feel so alone
I get through these city nights
With dreams of home
First thing out of high school
Just a crazy kind of kid
It was nuts to join the navy
So, of course, that's what I did
But it really hit me heavy
My first night out at sea
I was thinking of the home place
And it all came down on me
Dreams of home
They're all I've got to get me through the night ahead
City streets
I hear shouts beneath my window
I hear every word some passing stranger said
Then I turn my thoughts to everyone
Who's ever been a friend
Till I'm quieted and don't feel so alone
I get through these city nights
With dreams of home
I'm always wondering and wandering there
Back where my heart always goes
The days before I left are haunting me now
I've learned what my heart already knows
Dreams of home
They're all I've got to get me through the night ahead
City streets
I hear shouts beneath my window
I hear every word some passing stranger said
Then I turn my thoughts to everyone
Who's ever been a friend
Till I'm quieted and don't feel so alone
I get through these city nights
With dreams of home
I get through these city nights
With dreams of home
