I dreamed of this song one night. I had a recorder by the bed so I rose sang it right then and there. No body else woke up.
lyrics
Well I dreamt I found a hobo’s remains,
Well I dreamt I found a hobo’s remains,
Well I dreamt I found a hobo’s remains,
When you go you know there’s no one to blame,
Well a hobo travelled all around this world not alone,
Seeking only freedom from the masks we put on,
Step out in this world with the worry and the strife,
Nothing comes to steal away the night,
Well you know I saw an arc in the sky,
I dreamt I saw an arc up in the sky,
Well I dreamt I saw an arc up in the sky,
It lifted up my heart I don’t know why,
Well a hobo travelled all around this world all alone,
Seeking only freedom from the words you put on,
Lifting up the sunshine up above everyone,
Holding up a section of the sky,
Holding up a section in your eye,
Well you know where there’s a light to comfort you,
Well You know that there’s a light to comfort you,
You know where there’s a light to comfort you,
No matter what and when and whom you do,
Well a hobo goes around this old world all alone,
Seeking only freedom from the words of a song,
Waves come and wash away his soul in the night,
Stepping board a ship in the sky,
Stepping board a ship in the sky,
Stepping board a ship in the sky,
Stepping board a ship in the sky
