“Bob Dylan’s Dream” gets its melody from “Lady Franklin’s Lament”, a traditional folk ballad about the wife of an Arctic explorer named John Franklin who went missing.

While Dylan’s take is much more personal and the lyrics have little in common with “Lady Franklin”, both versions contain the same...

Bob Dylan’s Dream Lyrics

[Verse 1]
While riding on a train going west
I fell asleep for to take my rest
I dreamed a dream that made me sad
Concerning myself and the first few friends I had

[Verse 2]
With half-damp eyes I stared to the room
Where my friends and I'd spent many an afternoon
Where we together weathered many a storm
Laughing and singing 'til the early hours of the morn

[Verse 3]
By the old wooden stove where our hats was hung
Our words was told, our songs was sung
Where we longed for nothing and were satisfied
Joking and talking about the world outside

[Verse 4]
With hungry hearts through the heat and cold
We never much thought we could get very old
We thought we could sit forever in fun
And our chances really was a million to one

[Instrument Bridge]

[Verse 5]
As easy it was to tell black from white
It was all that easy to tell wrong from right
And our choices, they was few, so the thought never hit
That the one road we traveled would ever shatter or split

[Verse 6]
How many a year has passed and gone
Many a gamble has been lost and won
And many a road taken by many a first friend
And each one I’ve never seen again

[Instrument Bridge]

[Verse 7]
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
That we could sit simply in that room again
Ten-thousand dollars at the drop of a hat
And I’d give it all gladly if our lives could be like that
