Like the brooding waters of a deep river, this song immerses the listener in an acoustic reverie - a pleasant vocal mind-scape. Philosophic but fun.

Story behind the song
I strummed an Am9 chord one day, ethereal and mysterious, and the song evolved from that.
Lyrics
It's not how things look that makes them real But how you see them, what you think and feel Funny how that works but here's the deal... Life is like a dream Lying fast asleep upon the bed You were wide awake inside my head Looking through my eyes you smiled and said... Life is like a dream You row your boat downstream But it's not what it seems...to be Life is not a dream Sometimes we laugh until we cry 'Til streams of consciousness run dry Out on a limb we straddle Up a tree without a paddle...high, high and dry Love is like a river let it flow We can make the time to take it slow Steady as a rock, now let it roll Life is like a dream You row your boat downstream But It's not what it seems...to be Life is not a dream I Love you more than life, no lie I cross my heart and hope to die But if I die I won't be dead I'll be alive inside your head, surprise!...close your eyes (guitar bridge) Life is like a dream A boat that floats downstream A glossy magazine A picture on a screen It's never what it seems...to be Life is not a dream.
