To hang a dream on

Richard Thompson


Someone knocking at your front door 
Could be the one you're looking for 
To hang a dream on, to hang a dream on 

I might be the one, I just might be 
You might be waiting for the likes of me 
To hang a dream on, to hang a dream on 

Romance is a peach, you can't resist her 
Even if you try, don't forget it mister 
She'll get under you skin 
And you won't care why 

Santa Claus or Captain Cook 
Everyone looking for the same old hook 
To hang a dream on, to hang a dream on 

This is my life, my whole career 
Selling my soul for a good idea 
To hang a dream on, to hang a dream on 

This old town's been down so long 
Looks to me like it needs someone 
To hang a dream on, to hang a dream on 

Romance is a peach, you can't resist her 
Even if you try, don't forget it mister 
She'll get under you skin 
And you won't care why 

Someone knocking at your front door 
Could be the one you're looking for 
To hang a dream on, to hang a dream on
