Dreams Are Not My Home - Rosanne Cash

The waves are breaking on the wall

The queen of roses spreads her arms to fly, she falls

If I had wings, I’d cut them down

Live without these dreams so I could learn to love the ground

'Cause I wanna live inside the world

I wanna act like a real girl

I wanna know I’m not alone

And the dreams are not my home

The future is like a ringing bell

The road to good intentions wanders all the way through hell

The note that hangs in the gilded hall

The clanging of my empty rooms, I could learn to love them all

'Cause I wanna live inside the world

I wanna act like a real girl

I wanna know I’m not alone

And the dreams are not my home

The waves are breaking like they do

The spires of churches are the last place to enjoy the view

If I had wings, I’d use them now

I could follow you, then hope someone would pull me down

'Cause I wanna live inside the world

I wanna act like a real girl

I wanna know I’m not alone

And the dreams are not my

Dreams are not my

Dreams are not my home

(Dreams are not my home)
