Artist/Band: Joan Baez
Lyrics for Song: Speaking Of Dreams
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Joan Baez



Speaking of dreams


Here we are in the glistening streets of Gay Paree


Playing the Gipsy Kings


After the rain and taking tea at the Ritz in boots and jeans


With a teenage girl who said that it would be her grandest dream


And speaking of dreams, I really must say


I couldn't have dreamed you up


Nor the way you burst into my life, rattled my cage


And woke my sleeping demons up





You were not yet born


When my career began in '59


We're a sign of the times


Who cares if you are a breath of spring and I am vintage wine


We come from two different worlds


Like every other couple on the Rue de Rivoli


You spent your youth in the rainforests of distant Camaroon


Your father was a Navy captain, I am the Queen of Hearts


And the daughter of the moon





Speaking of dreams


You took me to see the paintings of Paul Gaughin


Speaking of dreams


We stood in the midst of waterfalls, flaming trees


Golden dogs and shining Tahitian ladies


But it was you, not Paul Gaughin


Who stopped my heart and then


Started my life over again





And if you feel as I do


That we've erased the lines between reality


And all our painted dreams


Then take me down to where the Gipsies sing


The songs their mothers knew


Tie bright ribbons in my hair


Lean on the wind and watch me while I dance for you





And carry me off to the rainforests of distant Camaroon


Tell me that you've always know that


I am the Queen of Hearts


And the daughter of the moon
