Memories and Dreams Songtext
von Slim Dusty

I′m here at the horizon
Between the future and the past
I'm looking through the things that fade
To the things that really last

The road that I′ve been traveling
I would not trade for gold
It's helped me choose the path between
The new ways and the old

You can think about the music
And the good times that we had
You can think about the way we felt
When we had it really bad

But I can't help feeling hopeful
For all the future brings
When I think of joining one more time
In the new songs that we′ll sing


One thousand years are over
And a thousand just begun
A man must stand and think about
The things that he has done
And no matter what they tell you
It′s not as easy as it seems
To walk the line that lies between
Our memories and our dreams

Let me tell you one more story
Let me sing you one more song
Let's raise another glass to all our friends
Who′ve come along

Let's talk about the way we were
And the way we′re yet to be
And when you're walking towards tomorrow
Keep a weather eye for me

One thousand years are over
And a thousand just begun
A man must stand and think about
The things that he has done
And no matter what they tell you
It′s never easy as it seems
To walk the line that lies between
Our memories and our dreams

To walk the line that lies between
Our memories and our dreams
