Daylight Dreamer

Here’s the half-finished painting
Of a girl that I started last December
Here’s the first three pages of my novel 'bout
I don’t really remember
Here’s my Martin guitar that I never quite learned how to play.
That’s the daylight dreamer, wishful thinker’s way
I had a Harley bike, but I traded it off to a fella
For the Astroglass boat that’s still sittin down in my cellar
I bought a tape recorder and found I had nuthin' to say.
That’s the daylight dreamer, wishful thinker’s way
I got an exercise machine. Man, I’d be glad to let you try it.
This… well it’s a Leika Camera. Maybe you’d like to buy it.
I can get you a real good deal.
I just need enough money to buy myself some modeling clay.
That’s the daylight dreamer, wishful thinker’s way
On the day that I die, they’ll be talking about the dearly departed
And they’ll say he never ever finished nuthin' that he started
But I started this song… man, I’m gonna finish it today
Yeah… that’s the daylight dreamer…
Listen… anyway… why don’t we just take a break and finish it later,
you know? 'Cuz I could sure use a sandwich. I wanna get myself a BLT or
something. And listen… right near the restaurant there’s a great old
bookstore… right near the restaurant. They got all these great old books…
great old comic books. They got Batman…
