While riding on a train goin' west,<br>I fell asleep for to take my rest.<br>I dreamed a dream that made me sad,<br>Concerning myself and the first few friends I had.<br><br>With half-damp eyes I stared to the room<br>Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon,<br>Where we together weathered many a storm,<br>Laughin' and singin' till the early hours of the morn.<br><br>By the old wooden stove where our hats was hung,<br>Our words were told, our songs were sung,<br>Where we longed for nothin' and were quite satisfied<br>Talkin' and a-jokin' about the world outside.<br><br>With haunted hearts through the heat and cold,<br>We never thought we could ever get old.<br>We thought we could sit forever in fun<br>But our chances really was a million to one.<br><br>As easy it was to tell black from white,<br>It was all that easy to tell wrong from right.<br>And our choices were few and the thought never hit<br>That the one road we traveled would ever shatter and split.<br><br>How many a year has passed and gone,<br>And many a gamble has been lost and won,<br>And many a road taken by many a friend,<br>And each one I've never seen again.<br><br>I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,<br>That we could sit simply in that room again.<br>Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat,<br>I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://aubry.free.fr/bdylgins.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>
