Just a middle aged singer/songwriter sharing the work.

Hobbyist singer/songwriter/guitarist who's been quiet for 10 years. Decided to get the songs out there now. Had dreams of the big time, but know it isn't going to happen now and that's okay. I still love music, writing and recording and want to share my work with people.

Story behind the song

"lost in a dream with my eyes open wide...."  Song came to me literally riding on the bus, got home and had it written down and demo'd in about an hour.  Doesn't happen often.  I'll take it.  This version features the talents of David Light on bass and fiddle.

Lyrics

I woke up this morning 
Had some things to do
So I put on the coffee
Read the paper too
Fired up the PC 
What was waiting for me
A message from a far off friend
Who I wish I could see

Barely caught the Crosstown 2
To go and do what I've gotta do
Lost in a dream with my eyes open wide
Thinking about you wondering if dreams come true
Lost in a dream with my eyes open wide

Almost missed my stop downtown 
My mind was in a haze
Ran into a friend I knew 
From back in our old days
Told me he just got divorced
And he's already engaged
Some folks just can't be alone
Maybe they're afraid? 

Gotta catch the Crosstown 2
Got a few more things I gotta do
Lost in a dream about your mystical brown eyes
Riding on the Crosstown 2
Can't help thinking about you
Lost in a dream with my eyes open wide

Gotta catch the Crosstown 2
Done what I went downtown to do
Lost in a dream with my eyes open wide
Riding on the Crosstown 2
Wishing that I was with you
Lost in a dream with my eyes open wide
Lost in a dream that caught me by surprise

You always carry a song extremely well with your engaging vocals and great timbre. I really like the addition of the fiddle. Superb songwriting - the words put us right in that moment and make us feel like we're living it. Excellent song, performance and production.
