It's in a dream, you say the same... whistles Give me a smile when you're Down on your knees, when you've Fallen from Grace, Like you fell in love with me Picture me alone, and I'm Takin all my time, and I'm Sighin to myself Even though you're right in front of me!! It's in a dream, I call your name! It's in a dream, you said the same... Was it in a goddam dream? I called your name Oh it's in a dream, you said the same...

Well you're back home now, I don't know what to say Could try to recount all the long lonely days But we've got hours, and plans on our plates So all I can say is My home is back home, My home is back home and here to stay! Don't you give it a reason, don't you give it a word There isn't a teacher, here to see what we've learned And it's all behind us, yeah it's all the same Cause my home is back home, My home is back home, My home is back home, and here to stay! Oh-oh-oh-Aaaaaaah Lonesome and lightless how my days did go by Now I'm blinded by brightness, because days follow nights Darkness is over, my heart remains Cause my home is back home My home is back home My home is back home, and here to stay!

about

Bandits on the Run New York, New York

Bandits on the Run are your friendly neighborhood criminals, whose sole purpose is to reinvigorate the element of surprise by making musical mischief in unexpected places.

To your ears, these whimsical criminals will sound like a nostalgic medley of old and new: strummed, plucked, and bowed away on cello and guitar, and propped up on an old timey spine of three part harmony.
