Lyrics

[00:03.78] While riding on a train goin' west,
[00:10.65] I fell asleep for to take my rest.
[00:16.95] I dreamed a dream that made me sad,
[00:25.77] Concerning myself and the first few friends I had.
[00:38.98] With half-damp eyes I stared to the room
[00:45.78] Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon,
[00:51.28] Where we together weathered many a storm,
[01:01.64] Laughin' and singin' till the early hours of the morn.
[01:13.27] By the old wooden stove where our hats was hung,
[01:20.00] Our words were told, our songs were sung,
[01:25.58] Where we longed for nothin' and were quite satisfied
[01:35.64] Jokin' and talkin' about the world outside.
[01:48.62] With haunted hearts through the heat and cold,
[01:55.21] We never thought we could ever get old.
[02:01.32] We thought we could sit forever in fun
[02:11.24] But our chances really was a million to one.
[02:56.75] As easy it was to tell black from white,
[03:03.17] It was all that easy to tell wrong from right.
[03:09.44] And our choices were few and the thought never hit
[03:19.37] That the one road we traveled would ever shatter and split.
[03:35.41] How many a year has passed and gone
[03:42.25] And many a gamble has been lost and won
[03:48.09] And many a road taken by many a friend
[03:58.19] And each one I've never seen again
[04:18.41] I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
[04:23.77] That we could sit simply in that room again
[04:29.69] Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat
[04:41.74] I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that
