T<\/span>his was the third of three songs I came up with on a rainy day in Mexico I wrote about here a few weeks ago. (That would be in the Looking for Trouble<\/span><\/a> post. The second song was There Ain’t No Heart In My Heart No More<\/a>, <\/span>though I didn’t think to mention it in the write-up.)<\/p>\n

Rainy days and recent relationship breakups are, of course, great fuel for creative venting. Set that rainy day on the rugged and rocky coast north of Ensenada at a remote and run down motor court, and you might as well throw an open bar party for the muses. Still, by the time I was scribbling this one down, I think a lot of the muses had paired up and were down on the rocks by the stormy sea making out, leaving me to try to make something out of this…<\/p>\n\nhttp:\/\/www.archive.org\/download\/Not_One_of_Those_Dreams\/Not_One_of_those_Dreams.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

Not One of Those Dreams<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If I had time to count the lies
\nor the hours that you stole
\nbut it ain’t like me to wonder why
\nall the same there are some things one needn’t be told<\/p>\n

I can see it in your smile<\/span>
\nit’s there behind all your words<\/span>
\nsomething dancing behind your eyes<\/span>
\nI can tell that you think it’s<\/span>
\ngonna be me that’s gonna get burned<\/span><\/p>\n

It ain’t like you’re the only one
\nthat ever threw away love
\nI’ve sinned your sins and some again
\nit’s all the same, it’s all been done<\/p>\n

I’m not saying that I’m sorry<\/span>
\nI won’t say I didn’t love you<\/span>
\nI won’t say I didn’t have some dreams<\/span>
\nbut not one of those dreams<\/span>
\ndid I ever dream could come true
\n… <\/span>not one of those dreams<\/span>
\ndid I ever dream could come true
\nnot one of those dreams…
