From the recording Money to Burn
Lyrics
In a half a million dollar shack
Between heaven and the railroad track
She dreams on. She dreams on
Just a city lady gone to seed
Her heart is freer than a tumbleweed
She dreams on.
CHORUS:
Lady in waiting, what are you waiting for?
There’s no returning to what was before
And the freight train sings that old familiar song:
It doesn’t matter who was right and who was wrong.
In a garden slightly overgrown
Just a space that she can call her own
She dreams on. She dreams on
She’s planting seeds from long ago
She will reap what she will sow
She dreams on.
CHORUS:
Lady in waiting, what are you waiting for?
You’ve waited so long just to find this door
Now you listen to the freight train’s lullaby
As you watch the last light glowing in the sky.
In a half a million dollar shack
Between heaven and the railroad track
She dreams on. She dreams on
She’s planting seeds from long ago
She will reap what she will sow
She dreams on.
She dreams on. And on.
She dreams on. And on.
