Dreamtime Lyrics


I saw you standing and I felt your rage
Like a dark cloud on a crowded stage
You were talking through the smoke in your fantasy
I know you girl I know what to believeMaybe things ain't been so good at home
And the people that you love never cared at all
You wanna run away don't care where you go
You wanna run away, run away that's all you knowBelieve it's alright to fantasize
And say the words you think will satisfy me
But you know better than that
'Cause you know what's a lieYou're living in dreamtime baby
It's time to wake up
You're living in dreamtime baby
It's time to shape upIn your dream it's overcast
Rain comes down movin' your way fast
You wanna run away don't care where you go
You wanna run away, run away that's all you knowYou turn a corner then you see a door
Walk on through throw, lay yourself on the floor
When you're looking up it's no surprise

Standing there is a man with movie star eyesYou think he's gonna take care of you
The man with the plan that'll see you through
I say there ain't no way
'Cause I know he's a lieYou're living in dreamtime baby
It's time to wake up
You're living on dreamtime baby
It's time to shape up, shape upYou're living in dreamtime
You're living in dreamtime
Wanna run away, run awayYou're living in dreamtime baby
Shape up
You're living on dreamtime baby
It's time to wake upI never saw anybody fall apart so fast
Living in dreamtime you know it ain't gonna last
Never saw anybody think she's so right and be so wrong
Living in dreamtime, it's hard to carry on, yeahYou wanna run away
Run away, baby
You wanna run away
Run awayI never saw anybody fall apart so fast
I hope it won't last
Never saw anybody think she's so right and be so wrong
Dreamtime, it's hard to carry onDreamtime, dreamtime
Run away
Dreamtime, dreamtime
Run away

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
His mother played songs by Frank Sinatra to him as a child, and he later became a fan of Motown and other R&B/soul music. He took piano lessons as a child, but he did not like them. He would skip the lessons and ride his bicycle across the bridge from his grandfather's farm over to the heart of the black "Chicken Hill" ghetto, where he could just listen and absorb the music.

In the 1960s, Hall attended Temple University, but did not graduate, preferring instead to spend his time singing on the street corners and play with various musicians and groups. At that time, Daryl Hohl (as he was called then) sang backup for different bands. He eventually changed his last name to Hall. Daryl Hall idolized the Temptations and began to perform session work as a singer. He first met John Oates at a band competition.

After John transferred to a different school, Daryl joined the band Gulliver, which released one eponymous album in 1969 before being dropped from their label.

Daryl is the host of the wildly popular online show entitled "Live From Daryl's House", where Daryl and the band collaborate with artists from various musical genres on the 15th of each month. The first episode aired in 2007, and it's still going strong. Best of all, it's free to watch.
