Dreamers & Believers - Derek Ryan

Another night of playing in the boondocks

Another night of cryin' in our beer

Another night of Mary quite contrary

Crowds that never came and humpin' gear

Down the oul' white line to fame and fortune

Maybe next time written in the sky

Always some new song to lift our spirits

With dreams that don’t come through but never die

We are the dreamers and believers

The singers and the sinners and the breakers of the mould

We’re the lovers and the leavers the lonely self deceivers

We are the music makers and the hard men for the road

Another night of so-called tour engagements

Another dartboard nightmare far from home

Half the band don’t talk to one another

The other half are lyin' on the phone

Ah it’s a great life if you just don’t weaken

Singin' songs and sellin' love’s sweet dreams

But there’s magic when we play it together

Don’t ask me what it is or what it means

We are the dreamers and believers

The singers and the sinners and the breakers of the mould

We’re the lovers and the leavers the lonely self deceivers

We are the music makers and the hard men for the road

You’ll see our battered wagons on the highway

Makin' pitstops at a thousand nameless bars

We’re living for the moment and the music

Singing songs and reaching for the stars

But sometimes in the heart of all the madness

There are moments money cannot buy

When the singer and the song just come together

And the music is pure magic and that’s why

We are the dreamers and believers

The singers and the sinners and the breakers of the mould

We’re the lovers and the leavers the lonely self deceivers

We are the music makers and the hard men for the road

We are the dreamers and believers

The singers and the sinners and the breakers of the mould

We’re the lovers and the leavers the lonely self deceivers

We are the music makers and the hard men for the road
