[Verse 1]
I was born at the bottom of a wishing well
I tried to climb but each time I fell
The dark and the damp and the stench and the smell
I sing my lonely song
[Chorus]
Come on, dump your dreams on me, mama
I will keep them warm
Come on, dump your dreams on me
Ain't never had none of my own
[Verse 2]
My mother died when I was young
I guess she couldn't take the weight no more
I stare up at my little patch of sky
And wonder what was meant for me
[Chorus]
Come on, dump your dreams on me, mama
I will keep them warm
Come on, dump your dreams on me
Ain't never had none of my own
[Verse 3]
Oh, but I don't know where I'm supposed to go
Or what I'm meant to do
I think I could be a writer, or racecar driver
An architect, an astronaut, a monkey in the zoo
I scratch each morning on the cold stone wall
Why I still do, I really don't know
Maybe some day some fool will fall
And I won't be alone
[Chorus]
Come on, dump your dreams on me, mama
I will keep them warm
Come on, dump your dreams on me
Ain't never had none of my own
I was born at the bottom of a wishing well
I tried to climb but each time I fell
The dark and the damp and the stench and the smell
I sing my lonely song
[Chorus]
Come on, dump your dreams on me, mama
I will keep them warm
Come on, dump your dreams on me
Ain't never had none of my own
[Verse 2]
My mother died when I was young
I guess she couldn't take the weight no more
I stare up at my little patch of sky
And wonder what was meant for me
[Chorus]
Come on, dump your dreams on me, mama
I will keep them warm
Come on, dump your dreams on me
Ain't never had none of my own
[Verse 3]
Oh, but I don't know where I'm supposed to go
Or what I'm meant to do
I think I could be a writer, or racecar driver
An architect, an astronaut, a monkey in the zoo
I scratch each morning on the cold stone wall
Why I still do, I really don't know
Maybe some day some fool will fall
And I won't be alone
[Chorus]
Come on, dump your dreams on me, mama
I will keep them warm
Come on, dump your dreams on me
Ain't never had none of my own
