Eating honey from the Catskills And I thought about you Haven't been in that neck of the woods Guess I'm long overdue Getting hard to leave this hollow My family's been two hundred years Oh, but let me go a little while Until this sweet dream disappears I was up on Bear mountain Hitchhiking in the dark Not a headlight for hours Things were looking pretty stark Now I think about that starry night And my eyes well up with tears Oh, let me cry a little while Until this sweet dream disappears Got a ride from a shoe salesman He said I never come this way Ever since they built the new road Don't know why I did today Getting harder to travel It gets harder every year But it only takes a little while Until this sweet dream disappears Slept one time in New Jersey By the side of the road And I thought about your warm heart As I shivered in the cold Now I've stayed in fancy hotels With crystal chandeliers Let me stay here for a little while Until this sweet dream disappears Eating honey from the Catskills And I thought about you Haven't been in that neck of the woods I guess I'm long overdue We were a long time together And I've kept your memory near Let me go there for a little while Until this sweet dream disappears Oh, let me go there for a little while Until this sweet dream disappears
