Swapping-Dreams-for-Diamonds

Coolparadiso

Springsteen inspired song

Just another night clerk
On the graveyard shift
WDHA rock Radio his only friend

Johnny sits and wait
Waiting for dawns smile
Seems to him like night will never end

Down town long branch
Not new jerseys finest
But a place yes a place a place that he called home

Living for the weekend
Oh Oh That’s just a fact
But now he sits all alone

Breathing in breathing out
the lights begin to flicker
Its Well past the midnight hour

Watching people rushing
Into doorways cross the lane
Hiding from the summer sudden shower

Still out there looking
Trying to find someone
Oh so Willing willing to exchange

Stealing someone’s dreams
Swapping them for diamonds
Trying oh trying so hard to change

Down town long branch
Not new jerseys finest
But a place yes a place a place that he called home

Living for the weekend
Oh Oh That’s just a fact
But for now he sits all alone

Breathing in breathing out
the lights begin to flicker
Its Well past the midnight hour

Watching people rushing
Into doorways cross the lane
Hiding from the sudden summer shower
