Dreamland - Gordon Lightfoot

You come to me in times of need

When you can’t find anyone

You seem to be much better off now

There’s a rainbow number one

We could see life through the gutter then

Till it caused my heart to break

There was too much toil in dreamland

And too much love to take

Sometimes I remember when

We were all dressed up in style

I don’t recall the gist of it all

But you drove the young men wild

You could wrap me around your finger

Till it caused my heart to break

There was too much toil in dreamland

And too much love to take

So if you need me near you

You can do it if you choose

There was too much toil in dreamland

And too much love to lose

You make me do what you want me to do

Then you run the rules on me

You seem to be the wiser now

Could it be you’ve been deceived

Anytime you felt like tryin'

You would cause my heart to break

There was too much toil in dreamland

And too much love mistake

So if you need me near you now

You can do it if you choose

There was too much toil in dreamland

And too much love to lose
