Careful What You Dream Lyrics - Marc Cohn

He's traveling down the road tonight 

His heart his heavy but his load is light 

He fakes to the left and he moves to the right 

On this lonely road tonight 

He moves to the right 

He drops a penny into a wishing well 

Nobody hears him as far as he can tell 

He sees a thousand other wishes lying there 

And so he wonders if the gods will care 

If the gods are gonna care 

And I know you are feeling lonely and blue 

But all good things will come to you 

Here is what I want you to do 

Be careful what you dream 

Be careful what you dream 

Be careful what you dream 

Because it might come true 

I see him standing with moon in his eyes 

There is so much I want to tell him 

But I wonder if there lies 

I know he don't believe in no miraculous surprise 

And there is so much I want to tell him 

But I wonder if they're lies 

So I am traveling down the road tonight 

Once I dreamed I was a singer 

When I woke up I was right 

I'm Most time in the darkness 

But I'm headed for the light 

So dream yourself a dream 

Out on the road tonight 

I know you are feeling lonely and blue 

But all good things will come to you 

Here is what I want you to do 

Be careful what you dream 

Be careful what you dream 

Be careful what you dream 

Because it might come true 

Be careful 

Be careful 

Be careful what you dream
