Daylight Dreamer Lyrics - Singles - Shel Silverstein

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 feller 

For the Astroglass boat that's still sittin down in my cellar 

I bought a tape recorder and found I had nothin' 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 

Yeah 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 nothin' that he started 

But I started this song man I'm gonna finish it today 

Yeah that's the daylight dreamer
