land of my dreams - jim lauderdale lyrics

[verse 1]
i took a boat to the land of my dreams
south of the border below
the wind in the sails, it strained at the seams
the warm breeze knew just how to blow
a half moon above me, the stars overhead
like some sweeter song of my soul
my old life behind me, i left it for dead
the soft waves knew which way to roll

[chorus]
well it’s a long way down
for a lonesome stranger in town
tryin’ to find out where he belongs
the right place to sing his songs

[verse 2]
met up with a mermaid who looked like the girl
i left behind me at home
wherever i end up in this whole world
thoughts of her won’t leave me alone
so what i mean, she inhabits my dreams
no matter where i may go
from moonlight rivers to sun*splattered streams
that is, i’m hanged if i know
[chorus]
well it’s a long way down
for a lonesome stranger in town
tryin’ to find out where he belongs
the right place to sing his songs

[verse 3]
i’d tell you my tale from beginning to end
but i don’t remember that much
what i can’t recall i may have to pretend
i just hope i’m not losing my touch
my dreams are as real as my heartbeat to me
true as the clouds in my sky
that drift overhead as the days hurry by
and the one i’ll love ’til i die

[chorus]
well it’s a long way down
for a lonesome stranger in town
tryin’ to find out where he belongs
the right place to sing his songs

[chorus]
well it’s a long way down
for a lonesome stranger in town
tryin’ to find out where he belongs
the right place to sing his songs
[outro]
i took a boat to the land of my dreams
i took a boat to the land of my dreams
