?[00:22.16]While riding on a train goin' west,
[00:28.82]I fell asleep for to take my rest.
[00:34.99]I dreamed a dream that made me sad,
[00:44.43]Concerning myself and the first few friends I had.
[00:57.05]With half-damp eyes I stared to the room
[01:04.12]Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon,
[01:11.42]Where we together weathered many a storm,
[01:21.10]Laughin' and singin' till the early hours of the morn.
[01:32.67]By the old wooden stove where our hats was hung,
[01:38.94]Our words were told, our songs were sung,
[01:44.87]Where we longed for nothin' and were quite satisfied
[01:55.09]Talkin' and a-jokin' about the world outside.
[02:09.25]With haunted hearts through the heat and cold,
[02:14.78]We never thought we could ever get old.
[02:20.85]We thought we could sit forever in fun
[02:30.25]But our chances really was a million to one.
[02:48.13]As easy it was to tell black from white,
[02:54.03]It was all that easy to tell wrong from right.
[02:59.83]And our choices were few and the thought never hit
[03:09.61]That the one road we traveled would ever shatter and split.
[03:22.48]How many a year has passed and gone
[03:28.70]And many a gamble has been lost and won
[03:34.72]And many a road taken by many a friend
[03:44.71]And each one I've never seen again
[03:56.22]I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
[04:02.84]That we could sit simply in that room again
[04:08.54]Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat
[04:18.18]I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that
