Folkklassieker du jour: Tim Hardin – How Can We Hang On To A Dream?

Tim Hardin is de auteur van enkele van de mooiste klaagliederen uit de geschiedenis van de populaire muziek. Iedereen kent natuurlijk Reason To Believe en If I Were A Carpenter – zij het dan in de versie van andere artiesten – maar dit is mijn persoonlijke favoriet. Wonderschoon.

What can I say, she’s walking away
From what we’ve seen
What can I do, still loving you
It’s all a dream

How can we hang on to a dream
How can it, will it be, the way it seems

What can I do, she’s saying we’re through
With how it was
What will I try, I still don’t see why
She says what she does

How can we hang on to a dream
How can it, will it be, the way it seems

What can I say, she’s walking away
From what we’ve seen
What can I do, still loving you
It’s all a dream

How can we hang on to a dream
How can it, will it be, the way it seems
How can we hang on to a dream

What can I say, she’s walking away
From what we’ve seen
What can I do, still loving you
It’s all a dream

How can we hang on to a dream
How can it, will it be, the way it seems
How can we hang on to a dream
