The River of Dream

Song by Billy Joel.


Ah-ha, ha
Uh-hu, uh-hu
Oh...

[repeat along:]
(In the middle of)
(I go walking in the)

In the middle of the night (middle of the night)
I go walking in my sleep (I go walking in my sleep)
From the mountain of faith (mountain of faith)
To a river so deep (river so deep)
I must be looking for something (looking for something)
Something sacred I lost (sacred I lost)
But the river is wide (so wide)
And it's too hard to cross (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 (in the middle of the night)
I go walking in my sleep (I go walking in my sleep)
Through the valley of fear (through the valley of fear)
To a river so deep (river so deep)
And I've been searching for something (searching for something)
Taken out of my soul (taken out of my soul)
Something I would never lose (never lose)
Something somebody stole (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

[pause]

In the middle of the night (middle of the night)
I go walking in my sleep (I go walking in my sleep)
Through the jungle of doubt (jungle of doubt)
To a river so deep (river so deep)
I know I'm searching for something (searching for something)
Something so undefined (something undefined)
That it can only be seen (only be seen)
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night

[repeat along:]
(I go walking in the)
(In the middle of)

Oh...
Ih...

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

[long pause]

In the middle of the night (middle of the night)
I go walking in my sleep (I go walking in my sleep)
Through the desert of truth (desert of truth)
To the river so deep (river so deep)
We all end in the ocean (end in the ocean)
We all start in the streams (start in the streams)
We're all carried along (carried along)
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night...

[repeat along:]
(I go walking in the)
(In the middle of)

Ho-ow...
Uh, oh...

[whisper and fade away:]
(In the middle of the night)
(I go walking in my sleep)
(From the mountain of faith)
(To a river so deep)
