Hobo's Dream Lyrics - The Dead Sailor Girls

He's walkin unsteady 

Weaving through the night 

He used to try toget ahead 

Now he's given up the fight 

He sleeps in the alley 

He dreams of that girl 

That girl... 

He left behind when he went blind staring at the world 

He thought he'd make a fortune 

He barely made a dollar 

Whenever he has change to spare 

He always tries to call her 

But he has an old number 

It won't reach that girl 

That girl... 

He left behind when he went blind staring at the world 

He thought he'd be famous by the time he was thirty 

No one knows what his name is, he's ragged and dirty 

Now he sleeps in the alley 

He's drenched to the skin 

He's just an old stranger 

No one will let him in 

But he sleeps like a baby 

'Cause he dreams of that girl 

That girl... 

He left behind when he went blind staring at the world 

He left behind when he went blind staring at the world 

He left behind when he went blind staring at the world
