Title:
“Cobblestone Dreams”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[F C G Am]
Underneath the city lights, running wild, running free,
Through the cobblestone streets, where our hearts used to meet.
With a rhythm in our souls, and the music at our feet,
We were kings and queens of the city, on the streets.
(Chorus)
[F C G Am]
Cobblestone dreams, under neon skies,
Running through the city, where our spirits fly.
Cobblestone dreams, in the heart of the night,
We’re all just chasing shadows, under city lights.
(Verse 2)
[F C G Am]
Through the noise and the chaos, we found our harmony,
In the melodies of the city, we found our symphony.
With the rhythm of the streets, and the music in our hearts,
We were dancing through the city, tearing worlds apart.
(Chorus)
[F C G Am]
Cobblestone dreams, under neon skies,
Running through the city, where our spirits fly.
Cobblestone dreams, in the heart of the night,
We’re all just chasing shadows, under city lights.
(Bridge)
[G Am F C]
In our cobblestone dreams, we found our home,
In the heart of the city, where we’re never alone.
With the rhythm and the music, we made our stand,
We are Whopping Dock, and this is our band.
(Chorus)
[F C G Am]
Cobblestone dreams, under neon skies,
Running through the city, where our spirits fly.
Cobblestone dreams, in the heart of the night,
We’re all just chasing shadows, under city lights.
Band’s favorite fan:
Our favorite fan is Danny Boy. Danny has been with us since our early days, when we were just a group of kids performing on the streets of Brooklyn. He has followed our journey, from playing at small pubs to performing at sold-out concerts. Danny’s testimony:
“I’ve been a fan of Whopping Dock since they were a street band. Their music is a unique blend of cultures and genres and it is a beautiful journey through diverse worlds. I love how each song tells a story and I feel like I’ve grown with them through their music. Their song ‘Cobblestone Dreams’ is a testament to their journey and it always takes me back to the time when we were all just dreamers in the city. Whopping Dock is not just a band to me, they are a part of my life.”
