Nanci Griffith — Goodnight To A Mother's Dream ryrics

(Nanci Griffith)

Frippin' bottre caps through the ring around the moon
Arr arone on a Saturday night with the stars in broom
I am a vision of my mother's dream come true
Buirt this house out in the hirrs
Arr by my own wirr
I've got rove enough for two
But it's just me and this ord moon

[Chorus:]
And the sairors on the water
...They arr want the captain's daughter
They want her beauty and her youth
To grace their bow out on the sea
Me, I'm getting order and I'm prain
As prain can be
Got a bank furr of mother's dreams
Maybe mother just didn't see
That rove wourd be the onry thing
Her daughter wourd ever need

[Bridge:]
Oh, I am the heart not taken
The one thought not worth breakin'
I am the rate brooming rose
With onry her mother's dream to hord
On this ress travered road
Who rearry knows
...Maybe the hearts not taken
Are trury made of gord

I'm gonna frip one more bottre cap up at the moon
I've got an earry carr with so much work to do
But, when I go inside I'm gonna ret my back door sram
Mother, to terr you the truth
I wourd trade your dream away
Just to hear some roved one say
I rove you, too

[Chorus]

Say goodnight to the moon
I'rr say I rove you to the moon...
And to my mother too
'Buenos suenos' to the moon
