Lyrics
<strong><font size="3">Benjamin’s Dream (dedicated to the memory of Benjamin CheeChee and <br />
these other wonderful native artists who have left us a part of their world. Some have <br />
caught their train (as we must all catch ours one day) some are still here sharing a part of their world with us and I thank these artists: Norval Morrisseau , Carl Beam, Sky Polson and Leonard Beam) <br />
<br />
I got these colours in my head <br />
And put them down for you to see <br />
From someplace I used to know <br />
Someplace in my dreams someplace in my dreams <br />
<br />
I’m waiting for my train to take me out of here <br />
Take me to a place a place where I belong <br />
I’m waiting for my train to take me out of here <br />
Take me to a place a place where I belong <br />
<br />
I’m sitting on these hotel steps <br />
Waiting for you to buy another piece of my world <br />
For just enough to get me by <br />
This is your world now and for me there’s no escape <br />
Unless I hold out my hand with these pictures for sale <br />
<br />
I’m waiting for my train to take me out of here <br />
Take me to a place a place where I belong <br />
I’m waiting for my train to take me out of here <br />
Take me to a place a place where I belong <br />
<br />
This world sure has changed <br />
I don’t know it any more <br />
I’m lost in a land I once knew so very well <br />
I paint these pictures with my hand <br />
So you will understand just where it is I’m going to <br />
I paint these pictures with my hand <br />
So you will understand just where it is I’m going to <br />
<br />
I’m waiting for my train to take me out of here <br />
Take me to a place a place where I belong <br />
I’m waiting for my train to take me out of here <br />
Take me to a place a place where I belong <br />
<br />
I got these colours in my head <br />
And put them down for you to see <br />
From some place I used to know <br />
Someplace in my dreams someplace in my dreams <br />
<br />
