Strange Dream

Drew Gonsalves

[Verse 1]
The other night I had a dream
Strange and portentous did it seem
The other night then I had a dream
Strange and portentous it did seem
A man with a top hat with stars and stripes
Was dancing with a lady all dressed in white
And as the crowd gathered around
Man, they was the talk and toast of the town

The band playing on
The gent and the dame dancing up a storm
He plotting to win her affection
She waving a big flambeau in she hand
A bulldog was barking by she feet
And he beat it like an old pothound in the street
And as the crown started to cheer
He get brave and [?] eagle and bear

[Chorus]
We ain't going home before day morning
Not until the sun is high in the sky
(Before day morning)
Not before day morning
I swear the clock is telling a lie
Not before day morning
You could not move us from here if you tried
(Before day morning)

[Verse 2]
This display of courage and might
Made the young lady to scream with delight
He started making outrageous claims
Just to further impress the dame
He said, “Come we gonna travel in class
From the Berlin Wall to the Khyber Pass
When get tired of the West Indies
We go bathe in the Tigris and Euphrates"

[Chorus]
We ain't leaving before day morning
Not until the sun is high in the sky
(Before day morning)
Not before day morning
I swear the clock is telling a lie
Not before day morning
You could not move us from here if you tried
Not before day morning
(Before day morning)

[Verse 3]
By the end of the dance
Interest had bloomed into romance
Which soon turned to jealousy
He didn't want no one else talking to she
He said be mine we build a home
She said she could belong to no man alone
In a rage he cuffed the dame to the ground
And the fire from the torch burned the whole place down

[Chorus]
Well, we ain't leaving before day morning
Not until the sun is high in the sky
(Before day morning)
Not before day morning
I swear the clock is telling a lie
Not before day morning
Well, we ain't leaving before day morning
Not before day morning
You could not move us from here if you tried
Not before day morning
(Before day morning)
Not before day morning
(Before day morning)
