Testo Before Nanci Griffith
I dreamed of Manhattan
In a time before this war
It was snowing down on Bleecker Street
It was before you were a star
(chorus)
Now everything is twilight
It's a time too dark to see
It's fear of being what we were
And pondering the dream
Then I dreamed of Texas
And the Gulf Coast shores
I dreamed of who we used to be
And the hope we had before
(chorus)
