lyrics

I’ve been dreaming of a white Mercedes
Red roses, hydrangeas and pine trees
A white front porch and blue records playing
Red, white and blue banners waving
Waving against the blue summer sky
Waving like the branches of the towering pines
Branches green with needles on them
Pictures of places now long forgotten

I’ve been dreaming of the Colonial Inn
Hunting trophies and pictures of Marilyn
Plastic flowers, tinsel and bright Christmas lights
Drinking in the bar all through the night
A scent of syrup, tobacco and heat
Like summer: both bitter and endlessly sweet
Midnight blue bedspread and broken chandeliers
Meet me in the lobby and let me bring you to tears

I’ve been dreaming of an endless summer nation
Just long roads, motels and sunlit gas stations
Stop in for coffee, cigarettes and magazines
Drinking cold Coca Cola in the still dry heat
These are the dreams that longing is made of
And the summer was made for longing, my love
The summer I left you, the summer you left me
Scent of lilacs, bad season in the city

I’ve been dreaming of a white Mercedes
