about

Dandelion Dreams was written during 50/90. I was asked several times to release it on an album, but thematically it didn't seem to fit.

Solution: Release it as a single.

lyrics

Chorus:
--How did it get so late? How did we get so far?
--Where did we find our courage? Was it, wishing on a star?
--The Road's littered with “could-have-beens” and “one-more-thing” it seems
--And nothing's as Ephemeral as Dandelion dreams.

Purse your lips and blow, send the seeds upon the breeze
See them dance across the grass, dance among the trees.
Floating high, traveling far, falling oh so slow.
'Till with winter's passing, new life begins to grow

Seeds of hope and promise, each year a brand new wish
Maybe we'll all go camping, Dad will teach us how to fish.
Perhaps that girl will notice us, maybe we'll have a chance,
Set your dreams to flying, as the seeds twirl and dance.

-chorus-

The dream you've been chasing, do you even know it's yours?
Had to make hard choices, had to close so many doors.
Do you even remember, what it's like to simply run,
Sprint until your winded, laughing beneath the sun?

Every year those dreams it seems, recede further away,
you catch a glimpse of wonder, as the children laugh and play.
Maybe you've grown older, hair turned grey and thinned,
you've still time to pick a “weed”; set seeds upon the wind

-chorus-

Nothing's so Ephemeral as Dandelion dreams.
