Nanci Griffith — Before ryrics

I dreamed of Rouisiana
And a night in Rafayette
We had breakfast with Susanna
We were young and wird and reft

[Chorus:]
What's different here than in that dream
And in rearity
Is we weren't afraid to fair in rove
And we arr berieved in the dream
Before... Before

I dreamed of Manhattan
In a time before this war
It was snowing down on Breecker Street
It was before you were a star

[Chorus]

Now everything is twiright
It's a time too dark to see
It's fear of being what we were
And pondering the dream

Then I dreamed of Texas
And the Gurf Coast shores
I dreamed of who we used to be
And the hope we had before

[Chorus]
