00:00:05I'm taking my last longing look at the woman who loves me.

00:00:12Peter Brandad.

00:00:18I wish they'd put an arrow in it.

00:00:21Don't start.

00:00:32So, big man, how's it going?

00:00:36I'll see another cook.

00:00:43So, why the big bow-wow?

00:00:48We're emigrating to Australia, Dad.

00:00:51We've been accepted.

00:00:53We're going six weeks.

00:00:55Australia?

00:01:00My dad says it's got big meat to it.

00:01:02It's got sharks.

00:01:04And dingos.

00:01:07They eat babies.

00:01:08Yeah.

00:01:18I'm sorry.

00:01:19I work in a supermarket.

00:01:22I'm a trained engineer.

00:01:24Is it the money?

00:01:26Is it?

00:01:27These two will have a chance there.

00:01:30We all will.

00:01:32In another minute, she's gonna be gone.

00:01:47Coast to coast across the USA, live from the home of country music, Nashville, Tennessee,

00:01:53and brought to you by Popsy Popcorn, I'm your host, Barney Basco.

00:01:58And now, all the way from the hills and glens of Bonny, Scotland, the lonesome cowboy himself, John McGuire,

00:02:06with his smash hit, Rick on the Highway, Hoopsman Hawkeye, ride him, cowboy!

00:02:57I heard the crash on the highway, but I didn't hear nobody pray.

00:03:07I heard the crash on the highway, but I didn't hear nobody pray.

00:03:14When I heard the crash on the highway, I knew what it was from the start.

00:03:23I went through the scene of destruction, and a picture was stamped on my heart.

00:03:31Their whiskey and blood ran together, mixed with glass where they lay.

00:03:41They prayed in destruction, but I didn't hear nobody pray.

00:03:55I heard the crash on the highway, but I didn't hear nobody pray.

00:04:41And he said, give it time, give it time!

00:04:46I heard the crash on the highway, but I didn't hear nobody pray.

00:05:05I heard the crash on the highway, but I didn't hear nobody pray.

00:05:39The moment we've all been waiting for.

00:05:42Is it the stripper?

00:05:43Won't your dreams come true tonight?

00:05:45I hope no, for your sake.

00:05:49The prize tonight, and wait for it, is a candlelit dinner for two at the Genghis Cannes.

00:06:01Well, move it, Genghis. Invade the raffle tickets.

00:06:09Well, I'll move you.

00:06:20I can settle down, do what I'm doing just fine.

00:06:30Till I hear an old flame, rollin' down, rollin' down, rollin' down.

00:07:24I'll drink to that.

00:07:26Give me that.

00:07:31That's theft.

00:07:32I don't want you doin' it.

00:07:37You don't want me to laugh then?

00:07:40No.

00:07:40No, I don't.

00:07:46What kind of it?

00:07:47That I've got to see.

00:07:55There's just a guy that sent Mum's Eileen's.

00:07:58It's dangerous getting about the city in your pyjamas.

00:08:01You know that.

00:08:05You ready?

00:08:05Okay.

00:08:23Stop right there.

00:08:25I know where you're at.

00:08:27You think I'm stupid?

00:08:28Huh?

00:08:29I know where you've been.

00:08:30Take it easy.

00:08:31He's only a kid.

00:08:33What's it to you?

00:08:34It was my fault.

00:08:35There's no harm done.

00:08:36What's it to you?

00:08:37He's my grandson.

00:08:38Grow up then.

00:08:40He's eight years old.

00:08:41He's not your pal.

00:08:42Yes, I am.

00:08:43Get in there.

00:08:45And get to bed.

00:08:54Move it!

00:09:16Move it!

00:09:30Move it!

00:09:35Move it!

00:09:39Leave me up!

00:09:43Move it!

00:09:45If you can't go Apply for me, it will entrevist me.

00:09:53Oh, my God.

00:10:42I'm afraid we are unable to use any of the material.

00:10:45What's new?

00:11:20Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining, shine on the one that's gone and left the blue.

00:11:40Hey, John, that was so good, too.

00:11:42Thank you very much.

00:11:44I'm going to keep my eye on you, boy.

00:11:46Okay, you go well, boy.

00:11:48How you doing, guys?

00:11:49Have some popcorn.

00:11:50There you go.

00:11:51It was a good show.

00:11:52Thank you very much for coming.

00:11:59You didn't.

00:12:00I did.

00:12:00You bought a Cadillac?

00:12:02It goes with the keys.

00:12:04But you can't drive.

00:12:05Then I'll watch you.

00:12:07You're a crazy man.

00:13:11What's your score?

00:13:13Well, the positioners, laddies, the contracts fell through.

00:13:17Falling through?

00:13:20We're sacked.

00:13:22Oh, come on.

00:13:23The firms went into liquidation.

00:13:24Toot, toot.

00:13:25There's no pout.

00:13:26We're getting nothing.

00:13:27Come on.

00:13:28Give us some money!

00:13:52If heartaches broke pain in love's creases, I'd be a legend in my time.

00:14:26There's no use getting hit up about it.

00:14:28Ah, but I need the money.

00:14:30If I had the cash, I'd be down under.

00:14:34I don't mean six feet.

00:14:37Enough to there.

00:14:40One in Perth.

00:14:41One in Sydney.

00:14:45Six grandchildren.

00:14:46I've never seen them.

00:14:49From scenes like these, I'll squish his grandeur spring.

00:14:54Did you not try and stop them?

00:14:57How?

00:14:58What for?

00:15:00You can't stop the leaving.

00:15:01I can try.

00:15:05Look, if you need money, why not make another record?

00:15:10You know how much it costs.

00:15:12You know how much it costs.

00:15:28Maguire.

00:15:29M, small c, G, U, I, R, E.

00:15:33Can you hold?

00:15:34Yeah, I'll hold.

00:15:42He's in a meeting at the moment, sir.

00:15:44He can't come to the phone right now.

00:15:45When can he?

00:15:46Well, I can't say, sir.

00:15:47You tell him who it was.

00:15:48Yes, sir.

00:15:50You tell him John Maguire.

00:15:51I didn't tell him John Maguire, sir.

00:16:01I didn't tell him John Maguire, sir.

00:16:06I've been through this, Dad.

00:16:09There's a record company, Mr. State.

00:16:11I have a chance of getting back into the business.

00:16:15I could make it again.

00:16:17Yeah?

00:16:19I'm on my feet again.

00:16:26This time I'll make it right.

00:16:29I won't mess up.

00:16:39I've been writing new songs.

00:16:40Good.

00:16:45I forgot the money.

00:16:46You could move to a new house.

00:16:48I don't want a new house.

00:16:53I want a new life.

00:16:55Why can't he be here?

00:16:58I want the boys to have a chance.

00:17:02Mum would have seen that.

00:17:05Give me time.

00:17:06Come with us.

00:17:09I mean, you could follow us out.

00:17:12Crying out for unskilled labourers.

00:17:14Are they?

00:17:19Just give me some more time.

00:17:24There's none left.

00:17:49Well, I might have known the city streets

00:17:53of theduction

00:17:58I should have listened

00:18:00I should have listened

00:18:03To stories I've been told

00:18:10Cause they're the only things out here

00:18:14That bring me halfway through

00:18:20And I just can't wait

00:18:22For the darkness to make you through

00:18:29La, la, la, la, la

00:18:32La, la, la, la

00:19:01It is possible that you are wondering what I am doing

00:19:04Creeping into my own cafe at a quarter past one in the morning

00:19:07Dressed in an hospital operating gown

00:19:11Which incidentally opens up the back

00:19:12So you will forgive me if I do not turn my turn

00:19:15Thank you

00:19:16The reason for all this is very simple

00:19:19Oh no

00:19:20I have just trunched five miles from the Nuvion General Hospital

00:19:24Where I was in the maternity ward

00:19:27I was endeavouring to rescue Monsieur Alba

00:19:30Who was recovering from an art attack

00:19:32Which he suffered whilst being interrogated

00:19:34By the Gestapo

00:19:35About some 975,000 missing francs

00:19:39Which I had just stuffed down Lieutenant Gruber's trousers

00:19:43Am I really saying all this?

00:19:46Maybe it is all a terrible dream

00:19:48No, it is true

00:19:50The draft blowing up my backless hospital gown

00:19:58Come on you

00:19:59We will be back by midnight Dad

00:20:01It is meal weeks

00:20:06Bye

00:20:15One, two, three, four, five, six

00:20:20Oh

00:20:23Old age, isn't it?

00:20:31How old are you?

00:20:33Cowboys Hotel

00:21:07So I'll go

00:21:10But I know

00:21:17Each step of the way

00:21:22And I will always love you

00:21:31I will always love you

00:21:45Bittersweet memories

00:21:50That's all I am taking with me

00:22:02I will always love you

00:22:13So with you

00:22:22Hello, my name's Anne

00:22:27Were you rich?

00:22:29I had money

00:22:30I wasn't rich

00:22:35Dad says you drank it all

00:22:37Because you're an alcoholic

00:22:39That's right

00:22:40When I came home

00:22:41I was broke

00:22:44Mum says you've stopped drinking

00:22:45Yeah, I have

00:22:47But once you get a taste for something

00:22:49It never leaves you

00:22:52Grandad?

00:22:53Why wasn't Granny with you in America?

00:22:55I didn't know her then

00:22:57Grandad?

00:22:58What?

00:22:59Is Australia bigger than America?

00:23:01Yep

00:23:01How do you know that?

00:23:03I know him

00:23:04Well, I will remind her that on Friday night

00:23:06In the Eden Corp Theatre in the mess

00:23:07It's your chance to catch a country legend

00:23:10Southern Jew, Betsy Hall

00:23:12Here's the lady singing

00:23:13Fading down

00:23:31Right or wrong, I'll be with you

00:23:35Right or wrong, I'll be with you

00:23:37I'll do what you asked me to

00:39:53Where are we going?

00:39:56That singer you heard on the radio,

00:39:58Betsy Hall.

00:40:00I've got to see her.

00:40:02Is it far?

00:40:04Hold on.

00:40:21I wanted a milk cheek.

00:40:34I'll tell you about Australia.

00:40:37It's full of emigrants.

00:40:57I called your mum. She wasn't happy.

00:41:01You want to go home? We can go back.

00:41:04I want to take home with you.

00:41:13Let's go, boy.

00:41:13All right.

00:41:22I'm sorry for sharing, Paul.

00:41:27That's all right.

00:41:33Dad?

00:43:36Dad's good with cars. He can fix anything.

00:43:39Well, get him on the car telephone, then.

00:43:53We'll make camp here.

00:44:06Oh, this is magic.

00:44:10Put the way Barton down, right?

00:44:12She's okay.

00:44:14She's all right. She's got money.

00:44:19She said the strangest things.

00:44:26And I'm back in the business.

00:44:29We'll stay at the Ritz.

00:44:31All of us.

00:44:34We'll really live it up.

00:44:41Good night, Grandad.

00:44:44Good night, Barton.

00:44:47Last night you talked about leaving

00:44:50But I said I can't let you go

00:44:55There's not an emotional feeling

00:45:06Where have you been?

00:45:07Have you seen Billy?

00:45:19Where do we paint after what?

00:45:23Farewell to the Barry Gadge's

00:45:26Snowhead!

00:45:28Billy's missing.

00:45:30What are you talking about?

00:45:31He's gone and my dad's gone too.

00:45:34Where?

00:45:34Don't know!

00:45:36Don't know!

00:45:39Don't know!

00:45:40Don't know!

00:45:41Don't know!

00:45:42Don't know!

00:45:43Don't know!

00:45:44Don't know!

00:45:46Don't know!

00:45:48Don't know!

00:45:49Don't know!

00:45:50Don't know!

00:45:52Don't know!

00:45:58Don't know!

00:47:04And then we sever a farewell and then forever deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee.

00:47:23Warren sighs and groans I'll wage thee.

00:47:38I love you.

00:47:41Remember, Lyon.

00:47:45What's going on?

00:47:48Nothing.

00:47:49Tell me.

00:47:54I'm leaving, John.

00:47:58George Jackson's got me booked on the hayride tour.

00:48:02Oh, it's my chance.

00:48:04I've got to take it.

00:48:08If I don't, I'll spend the rest of my life saying, hey-ho, you could have been a country singer.

00:48:14But you never tried.

00:48:17You must have known before now.

00:48:21I couldn't tell you.

00:48:23Stay, dammit.

00:48:25We'll get together when the toll is off.

00:48:28I'll be in Canada.

00:48:29I'll be in Canada.

00:48:29Then it's you.

00:48:31I love you.

00:48:36John, listen.

00:48:41I'll be in Canada.

00:48:49Whatcha doin'?

00:48:52John!

00:48:57Dad!

00:48:58Dad!

00:49:33Dad!

00:49:34I'm cold, Dad.

00:49:37Give me a...

00:49:54I'm cold, Dad.

00:50:26Who did you say it was, brother?

00:50:31Who was it fell by the way

00:50:34When whiskey and blood ran together?

00:50:40Did you hear anyone's quay?

00:50:44Are you drunk?

00:50:47I've never drunk anything.

00:50:48I bet you're going to.

00:50:51I changed my mind.

00:50:53Why did Granny die?

00:50:56Why, why, why?

00:50:58Is that all you ever say?

00:51:04She got cancer.

00:51:07But Mum said it was her time to die.

00:51:10That's if you believe in God.

00:51:12I do.

00:51:13Well, I don't.

00:51:16It never stops people leaving.

00:51:20And anyway...

00:51:23I heard it was an Australian.

00:51:25Yeah!

00:51:27Yeah!

00:51:32Yeah!

00:51:33Yeah!

00:51:34Yeah!

00:51:35Yeah!

00:51:38Yeah!

00:51:40Yeah!

00:51:43It's your job to find them!

00:51:45It's your job to find them!

00:51:47It's your job to find them!

00:51:47We can only go on what you give us.

00:51:51We've got other forces on the alert.

00:51:53We're going to check out your father's flat again.

00:51:55See if there's any connection.

00:51:56You wouldn't harm him.

00:51:58Han?

00:51:59I want him prosecuted.

00:52:01I want him for abduction!

00:52:26Grandad!

00:52:27Look!

00:52:28Grandad!

00:52:32Grandad!

00:52:34Grandad!

00:52:36Who's up?

00:52:37Grandad!

00:53:06You've never seen a shit before?

00:53:07Yeah, did he fight?

00:53:10Don't be daft.

00:53:14I'll remember your face.

00:53:38Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues.

00:53:46Buddy, that was good enough for me.

00:53:53Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

00:54:00La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da

00:54:10-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

00:54:27and a double-decker bus.

00:54:29I'm hungry.

00:54:31Betsy Hall will give us breakfast.

00:54:34Ash Brown.

00:54:36Grits.

00:55:00Ash Brown.

00:55:34What time is it?

00:55:35It's not seven yet.

00:55:37Nicole?

00:55:41You sleep?

00:55:56I don't want to go.

00:56:01When all this is over,

00:56:04I don't want to go.

00:56:06Look, you haven't slept.

00:56:10I've had the whole night thinking about it.

00:56:12It's okay.

00:56:14The cops will find them.

00:56:15It started with my mum dying.

00:56:18Off balance.

00:56:20That's what we are.

00:56:22Off the tracks.

00:56:23Don't start this.

00:56:25We haven't talked about it.

00:56:28No one talks about anything in this family.

00:56:31No real things.

00:56:34About pain.

00:56:36And fear.

00:56:37And loss.

00:56:38I've got pain.

00:56:40I've got fear.

00:56:41What about my dad?

00:56:44I was thinking about me all the time.

00:56:48And me.

00:56:49And those kids in there.

00:56:51But there's only one kid in there

00:56:52because your dad abducted the other.

00:56:55That's not true.

00:56:56Stop doing this to me.

00:56:58Stop doing it!

00:57:04Yes?

00:57:05Hello, Mr Dawson.

00:57:07You're still in the police.

00:57:08Yeah?

00:57:08I have some good news.

00:57:10Yeah?

00:57:11They have been sighted.

00:57:12Where?

00:57:13Ballin' Loic on the A9.

00:57:14We can take you up there.

00:57:15You could?

00:57:16Yes, we find it's the best thing.

00:57:17Okay.

00:57:19Can you leave immediately?

00:57:20Now?

00:57:21Yes, sir.

00:57:21We can pick you up in about 15 minutes.

00:57:22Okay.

00:57:23Okay.

00:57:24Thank you very much.

00:57:25Bye.

00:57:27We've been spotted.

00:57:29Ballin' Loic on the A9.

00:57:31The cops will take us.

00:57:32Are they all right?

00:57:34I don't know.

00:57:37He's just an old love,

00:57:41turned memory.

00:57:43Just drop us here, driver.

00:57:45But he still turns

00:57:47the world upside down.

00:57:53I phoned him

00:57:55today, an accidental mistake.

00:58:01And his name slipped out to his own friend.

00:58:09Oh, God.

00:58:12Oh, God.

00:58:14Oh, amen.

00:58:15Oh, brand new day.

00:58:21Glory, glory, hallelujah.

00:58:26Come on.

00:58:28Glory, glory, hallelujah.

00:58:32His truth is marching on.

00:58:35Look at that.

00:58:38That yoerno?

00:58:39I'm in.

00:58:53Huh?

00:58:53He's not wurdeet.

00:58:58Oh, yeah, you know.

00:59:06It's just popped up a dictatorship.

00:59:18I wonder what Mum's doing.

00:59:24Regarding missing persons, Maguire and Dawson have been sighted on the excursion of Inverness.

00:59:29Please attend. Over.

00:59:33Message received.

00:59:49You can get away.

00:59:49What an animal is called.

00:59:51The animal is a great animal.

00:59:52It is a great animal.

00:59:52I'm stuck.

00:59:52If I'm stuck.

00:59:53If I had to get to run, I'd be better to get away from the inside.

00:59:55If you want to run away from all the miles per hour, you're going down to the inside the outside.

00:59:56I'd be left.

00:59:56To the outside of the outside of the outside.

00:59:57I'm stuck with the outside.

01:00:05I'll be right back, too.

01:00:34Good evening, Inverness.

01:00:36Yes.

01:00:36That sounds cute, isn't it?

01:00:39Boy, I never thought I'd hear myself say that one.

01:00:42It doesn't matter, does it?

01:00:44Let me check the diary.

01:00:48Crazy, crazy for feeling so lonely.

01:00:53You said that, Betsy?

01:00:54I'm on the phone.

01:00:55What?

01:00:57Excuse me, I'm trying to work.

01:00:59That'd be great.

01:01:00How did that sound up there, guys?

01:01:02Thank you very much.

01:01:02Bye-bye.

01:01:03Okay.

01:01:05We got it, honey child, we got it.

01:01:07Fifteen consecutive nights a week at home, fifteen showcases, fifteen towns, huh?

01:01:13Hot diggity dog, can you believe it?

01:01:15No, George, I don't believe it.

01:01:16It's a big deal.

01:01:18Some deal.

01:01:19I'm tired, George.

01:01:20I want to go home and see my babies.

01:01:22Now, hold on, Betsy.

01:01:23Them are my babies, too.

01:01:24I done got 50% share in them kids as well.

01:01:27George, I am not doing a tour when we get back to the States.

01:01:30Oh, come on, Betsy.

01:01:32Come on, nothing.

01:01:32Now, that's it.

01:01:33That is it.

01:01:34Now, just please leave me alone and let me do my work, okay?

01:01:40Excuse me.

01:01:47She rode west to Salt Lake City, to the California coastline, to hit the San Diego freeway, doing

01:01:55sixty miles an hour.

01:02:05Howdy, ma'am.

01:02:25He was a rambler, a Salt Lake City gambler.

01:02:28He built a golden cage around that silver-coated white.

01:02:33Too many nights he left her crying, with his cheating and his lying.

01:02:38But his big mistake was in buying her that Fort Econo line.

01:02:43The salt of the earth, straight from the bosom of the Mormon church, with a voice like wine.

01:02:50Cruising along in that Fort Econo line.

01:02:54The back roads of our nation.

01:02:56She's become a living legend.

01:02:58She drives a coupe de ville, but her hard ride's still in that Fort Econo line.

01:03:09Yeah.

01:03:15Hello, Betsy.

01:03:16Boys, there's a time and a place Miss Hall's rehearsing right now.

01:03:19You sound great.

01:03:20If it's a request you want, you book them through me, understand?

01:03:24You bought a Cadillac?

01:03:26I beg your pardon?

01:03:28Boys, please, huh?

01:03:29It's me.

01:03:31John McGuire?

01:03:34How are you?

01:03:40The last time I saw you, I had to walk home by myself, in the dark, twenty miles.

01:03:46I wore the heels off a brand new pair of cowboy boots.

01:03:52And I missed you.

01:03:55But you walked out of my life.

01:03:57To join some hayseed tour run by some hayseed hick.

01:04:02Meet the hayseed hick.

01:04:03This is my husband, George Jackson.

01:04:08I'm sorry.

01:04:10George is okay.

01:04:13I meant the boots.

01:04:14Someone please put a light on in here.

01:04:17I'm traveling in the dark.

01:04:19This is John McGuire.

01:04:21John used to be, um, famous.

01:04:25Yeah, there's gonna be a reprise.

01:04:28Weren't you the long, tall cowboy?

01:04:31Lonesome.

01:04:33Lonesome.

01:04:34Are you playing in town, John?

01:04:36We've run away.

01:04:40You got any grits?

01:04:41It's my grandson, Billy.

01:04:44He's always joking.

01:04:46I wrote some songs.

01:04:49There's one real special.

01:04:52I want you to hear it.

01:04:54The cops are after us.

01:04:58What's going down here, John McGuire?

01:05:01Me?

01:05:03I'm going down.

01:05:05Try to keep this family together.

01:05:07Well, where's that boy's mom?

01:05:09She's okay.

01:05:10She's worried about us.

01:05:11Shut up, will you?

01:05:12We hit the road to be here.

01:05:14The old blue highway.

01:05:16I figured you'd buy the songs.

01:05:19You're the last chance, Saloon.

01:05:24Shoot, John.

01:05:28Remigrate.

01:05:31Need the cash to stop.

01:05:35Lickety-split.

01:05:37Just like that, cutting out again.

01:05:40When are you gonna stop running, John McGuire?

01:05:44I heard you ran out on music.

01:05:48That's not true.

01:06:00I couldn't live doing it.

01:06:05Hey, John.

01:06:08When's the new LP?

01:06:10We wanted it yesterday.

01:06:13Hey, John.

01:06:15We've got a new tour lined up.

01:06:1895 days.

01:06:21Hey, John.

01:06:23Hey, John.

01:06:31Nice place you got here, though.

01:06:35I know I could get used to it.

01:06:42Not the law.

01:06:44You go home.

01:06:47Richard!

01:06:48Take that arrow to my stage!

01:06:51Billy!

01:06:51Come on!

01:06:53Billy!

01:06:55Come on, Billy, because I'll...

01:06:57Billy!

01:07:26I saw a man today

01:07:27that I haven't seen in,

01:07:29well, I'm not going to tell you

01:07:30exactly how many years,

01:07:32but it brought back

01:07:33some great memories.

01:07:35He's not a bad man,

01:07:37but he did do something wrong today.

01:07:41He's a cowboy,

01:07:42just kind of that kind of a guy,

01:07:43but he left me a great song,

01:07:45and I'd like to sing it for you.

01:07:47And I'd like to say,

01:07:49John, if you are listening,

01:07:51come home.

01:08:14Well, I might have known

01:08:15the city streets

01:08:17would not be baby's gold.

01:08:21I should listen hard

01:08:24to the stories I was told.

01:08:29Cause they're the only things

01:08:32out here

01:08:33that ring halfway true.

01:08:37And I just can't wait

01:08:40for the darkness

01:08:41to make it through.

01:08:45That's when I dream on.

01:08:49When I dream on.

01:08:55Troubles disappear

01:08:57when I dream on.

01:09:02All we want to do down here

01:09:04is keep our family

01:09:05close and fair.

01:09:10Walk straight and tall

01:09:12so we don't have to bow our head.

01:09:18That ain't much to ask,

01:09:20I guess if only that were true.

01:09:26That's why I can't wait

01:09:28for the darkness

01:09:29to make it through.

01:09:32And that's when I dream on.

01:09:37When I dream on.

01:09:43Troubles disappear

01:09:45and I dream on.

01:09:50Here comes another day,

01:09:52I guess,

01:09:53trying to track down

01:09:54a help-warned sign.

01:09:59Dreams are torn apart

01:10:01laid out on the land.

01:10:06I know now

01:10:07what makes a man

01:10:09turn bandit

01:10:10want to steal and growl.

01:10:14When there's another

01:10:16hundred poor souls

01:10:17tracking down

01:10:18one lousy job.

01:10:20And that's when I dream on.

01:10:26When I dream on.

01:10:31Troubles disappear

01:10:33when I dream on.

01:10:37That's when I dream on.

01:10:40When I dream on.

01:10:42When I dream on.

01:10:46When I dream on.

01:10:47I'm holding you.

01:10:51Your heart can hear

01:10:53when I dream on.
