Rachel Pletts - Dreamer Lyrics

One day I'm gonna be
Famous as anything
You're gonna say you knew me when
I was a little girl
Sundress and pin up curls
You've got a claim as my best friend
From way back when
Way back when

She smiled and skipped away
Down every street and lane
Held endless possibilities
We'd sit on her front porch
Popsicles and summer shorts
I'd beg her share your dreams with me

She was a dreamer
With wings on her back
No telling where she'd go
No way of knowing if she's coming back
Every time the wind would blow
She'd be gone before you know

Into our high school days
She'd always lead the way
Adventure's just around the bend
With no dreams of my own
Happy just to be in tow
We'd blaze trails long after roads end
After they'd end

I hoped and prayed each day
I'd find a letter that would say
I've finally flown, now it's my time
And every night I'd bend
On my knees for my best friend
O God please give her strength to fly

She was a dreamer
With wings on her back
No telling where she'd go
No way of knowing if she's coming back
Every time the wind would blow
She'd be gone before you know

Down at the corner store
As you walk in the front door
A caged bird sings like a door chime
She'd always catch my gaze
Such beauty in a cage
It never made sense in my mind

One night it rained all night
I woke at dawn's first light
Something in me whispered "She's gone"
A smile stole my face
To her house ran the whole way
Found the note I'd hoped for for so long

She was a dreamer
With wings on her back
No telling where she'd go
No way of knowing if she's coming back
She was a dreamer
With wings on her back
No telling where she'd go
No way of knowing if she's coming back
Every time the wind would blow
She'd be gone before you know
