Girl, I've seen you drift away to another place and time And in those dreams you leave this old world behind Yeah, I know how hard you've been trying In a world that you just ain't buying All your dreams, so far away now Drifting off with the rest of your yesterdays, some how Yeah, I know it's hard to keep on fighting 'Cause I'm a guy who gave up trying Oh, no, just put 'em in your pocket Don't lock 'em away I know you think your heart can't take it But there will come a new day Never mind these old streets, these dusty avenues Never mind the things they might say about you They can talk but they can never ever hurt you They can never take your dreams away from you Someday you will be far from here And all your troubles will have disappeared When you go, girl, don't worry about me Yeah, it's time now to set yourself free Oh, no, just put 'em in your pocket Don't lock 'em away I know you think your heart can't take it But there will come a new day Oh, no, don't lock 'em away Oh, no, don't lock 'em away
