lyrics

I keep dreaming of the same young man
I love him but I’ve never even held his hand
He said I like the way you stumble
It reminds me of how I fall
Are you into that or are you just too good for it all
Uh-huh

Woke up to the same old ball and chain
I fumble for the clock but I’ve got no one to blame
And I’m stuck here in limbo
Between a pillow and a stone
But I’ll sit right here until this thing works out on its own
Uh-huh

Dream a little dream
And though it may not seem to be the type of thing
That’s you and what you’re standing for
Just close your eyes and dream a little more
Uh-huh

Maybe his hands could hold me down
Don’t you feel the room spinning around
You say you like the way I try
To pretend you’re not around
But the truth is I’ve been thinking about skipping town
Uh-huh

So I’ll see you when I close my eyes
Nothing says hello like a proper good-bye
So let’s just meet again
At a quarter to ten
And sing to me a lonesome, gloomy lullabye
Uh-huh

Dream a little dream
And though it may not seem to be the type of thing
That’s you and what you’re standing for
Just close your eyes and dream a little more
Uh-huh

Shiny and the Spoon Cincinnati, Ohio

Called “Perhaps the best folk duo our region has to offer” (The Historic Southgate House), Shiny and the Spoon give off the warmth and intimacy of the likes of Johnny Cash and June Carter, with transcendent vocals and a vibrant acoustic core, complimented by sprinklings of ukulele, guitar, harmonica, and boot-stomping. ... more
