Working, not working

A little distracted today. I keep thinking of the momentous event that took place last night. And listening to that new Springsteen song he debuted a few days back in Ohio. According to Backstreets.com:

"Workin' on a Dream." The song has been recorded for the follow-up to Magic, which Springsteen has been working on this fall, an album expected to see release around the time of the Presidential Inauguration in January 2009.

Been listening so much, I got the lyrics down:

Workin' on a Dream

Out here, the nights are long
The days are lonely
I think of you and
I'm workin' on a dream
I'm workin' on a dream

Now the cards I've drawn
Is a rough hand, darlin'
I straighten my back and
I'm workin' on a dream
I'm workin' on a dream

I'm workin' on a dream
Though sometimes it feels so far away
I'm workin' on a dream
And I know it will be mine someday

The rain pouring down
I swing my hammer
My hands are rough from
Workin' on a dream
I'm workin' on a dream

I'm workin' on a dream
Though trouble can feel like it's here to stay
I'm workin' on a dream
Where our love can chase the trouble away

I'm workin' on a dream
Though it can feel so far away
I'm workin' on a dream
Our love will make it real someday

The sun rises up
I climb the ladder
The new day breaks and
I'm workin' on a dream
I'm workin' on a dream

I'm workin' on a dream
I'm workin' on a dream

I'm workin' on a dream
Though it can feel so far away
I'm workin' on a dream
Our love will make it real someday

I'm workin' on a dream
Though it can feel so far away
I'm workin' on a dream
And our love will make it real someday


Jeez, like I'm in high school again. Guess Hope and Change will do that to you.

(of course, it helps to still be in love with your high school sweetheart)
