Dreamers Lullaby
Chuck McDermott has crafted a wide variety of music in his career, but he reaches a whole other level with this nobly ambitious effort. It was conceived during the pandemic and often feels like a soothing hymn to rise above it.

LYRICS: Dreamers Lullaby
There’s a light so much brighter than the morning light I see
Fills the night burns the mountains
And it drinks the drunken sea
Oh it melts the sand clutched in my hands
It sears the devil’s eye
Oh baby, hear the dreamer’s lullaby
Just suppose nothing mattered and the world was ours to find
Just suppose I came from nowhere and the past was left behind
Say that dawn should break and we’d awake
To see each other’s eyes
Oh baby, that’s the dreamer’s lullaby
I can wait, I can write, I can stare into the night
I can wrap this soul uptight for you
Just suppose I was everything your heart had ever dreamed
Just suppose I really figured in your plans your little schemes
Say that wrong was right, and late tonight
We’d kiss these blues goodbye
Oh baby, sing the dreamer’s lullaby
Oh baby, sing the dreamer’s lullaby
