Streetlights Songtext
von Bonnie Raitt

I heard a voice come through on my telephone line
Told me that it was your time
I thought that they were fooling
They were fooling me
And then I remember having this dream of mine
When it came down on me

I was told by a friend of mine
That it don′t matter if your dreams, they bother you
Your dreams won't happen unless you only want them to
So, I asked him for a ride
He said, "Hop on board, girl
I′ve been waitin' here for you"
I thought I had nothin' left to lose

Where′d you say you′d be tonight?
Streetlights are all I see


All I wanted on that ride
Just a little kindness, a little kindness shown my way
I found myself runnin' out of ideas on how to stay
It just got to be somethin′ more than I could take
But that summer somehow we were havin' fun
Your magic took me by surprise

Where′d you say you'd be tonight?
Streetlights are all I see
And now I know the feeling′s right
Yes, I know the feeling's right
'Cause just last night you came into my dreams

Yes, you did, yes, you did

I heard a voice come through on my telephone line
Told me that it was your time
I thought that they were fooling
They were fooling me
And then I remember having this dream of mine
When it came down on me
I said, "It came down on me," oh

Where′d you say you′d be tonight?
Streetlights are all I see
Now I know the feeling's right
′Cause just last night you came into my dreams

I heard a voice come through on my telephone line
Told me that it was your time
