Every day I work away
but every night I dream
Of a princess in gowns of gold and pearls
and a prince or five a’ courting.
Of a duel or three at the end of the day
and a knight in shining armor.
Every day I work away
but every night I dream
Of a cowboy rustic in old leather jeans
and a scent of the sagebrush and saddle.
Of a chuck wagon meal over a well tended fire
and adventure on the wild frontier.
Every day I work away
but every night I dream
Of the wind and the waves and a good ship that’s manned
with a crew that can sail any weather.
So it’s aft hard to starboard and sail for safe harbors
and we’ll be there before the morning.
Every day I work away
but every night I dream
Of exploring in space with the stars all around me
and the night as my blanket and pillow.
Oh the things I’d discover and the worlds uncover
and the speed of light would seem slow.
Every day I work away
but every night I dream
