The River of Dreams Lyrics

 

In the middle of the night

I go walking in my sleep

From the mountains of faith

To a river so deep

 

I must be looking for something

 

Something sacred I lost

 

But the river is wide

 

And it's too hard to cross

 

And even though I know the river is wide

I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore

And try to cross to the opposite side

So I can finally find out what I've been looking for

In the middle of the night

I go walking in my sleep

Through the valley of fear

To a river so deep

And I've been searching for something

 

Taken out of my soul

 

Something I would never lose

 

Something somebody stole

I don't know why I go walking at night

But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore

I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life

Until I find what it is that I've been looking for

In the middle of the night

I go walking in my sleep

Through the jungle of doubt

To a river so deep

I know I'm searching for something

 

Something so undefined

That it can only be seen

By the eyes of the blind

In the middle of the night

Woo... Woo...

 

I'm not sure about a life after this

God knows I've never been a spiritual man

Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river

That runs to the promised land

In the middle of the night

I go walking in my sleep

Though the desert of truth

To the river so deep

We all end in the ocean

We all start in the streams

We're all carried along

By the river of dreams

In the middle of the night
