[Verse 1]
C G
I dreamed of you on my farm
F
I dreamed of you in my arms
C
But dreams are always wrong
G
I never dreamed I'd hurt you
F
I never dreamed I'd lose you
C
In my dreams I'm always strong
F C
But now the creek is rising
F C
And all my bridges burned
G
I always dreamed of big crowds
F
Plumes of smoke and high clouds
C
But dreams don't last for long
[Break]
C Gm Bb F
[Verse 2]
C G
I have my suspicions
F
When the stars are in position
C
All will be revealed
G
But I know that until then
F
Unless the stars surrender
G
All will be concealed
F C
And now the snow is falling
F C
And all my fences torn
G
I know you need someone
F
And I can hear someone
C
Somewhere in this song
[Break]
C Gm Bb F
C Gm Bb F
[Verse 3]
C G
I dreamed that I was walking
F
And the two of us were talking
C
Of all life's mystery
G
The words that flow between friends
F
Winding streams without end
C
I wanted you to see
F C
But it can seem surprising
F C
When you find yourself alone
F C
And now the dark is rising
F C
And a brand new moon is born
C G
I always dreamed I'd love you
F
I never dreamed I'd lose you
C
In my dreams I'm always strong
