The River of Dreams

The River of dreams : By Billy Joel

In the middle of the night


I go walking in my sleep


From the mountains of faith


To the river so deep


I must be lookin' for something


Something sacred I lost


But the river is wide


And it's too hard to cross


even though I know the river is wide


I walk down every evening and stand on the shore


I try to cross to the opposite side


So I can finally find 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


I've been searching for something


Taken out of my soul


Something I'd 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 I've been looking for


(Three beat Pause)


In the middle of the night


I go walking in my sleep


Through the jungle of doubt


To the 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 (break)






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 is runnin' through the promised land (Long Five beat Pause)






In the middle of the night


I go walking in my sleep


Through 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
