Passenger "Let Me Dream A While" lyrics

Let Me Dream A While

Well, when the lights hang lowAnd I lay down and close my eyesI see colours and spinning wheelsI hear a language I don't understand

I see people I've not seen for yearsI hold a magic in my handsI sing songs that I'll never write'Cause they're gone by the morning light

Yes, and I dream awayAnd I'm as free as the summer skyI swim in oceans turquoise and deepI lay down in fields of gold

I see mountains snow-white and steepThough I never feel the coldI can't stay there, try as I might'Cause it's gone by the morning light

So if you find that I'm sleepingSoft and warm as a childWould you just let me beFor a moment happy and free?Oh, won't you please let me dream a while?

Yeah, when the night draws inAnd I lay down to rest my headI find boxes of photographsAnd old movies I saw long agoI can still hear my sister laughOn the beaches in Mexico

Where the phosphorescence shines 'neath the moonAnd a thousand stars that glowBut they always fade out so soonTo a place where I just can't goThough I hold on to them so tightThey are gone by the morning light

So if you find that I'm sleepingSoft and warm as a childWon't you just let me beFor a moment happy and free?Oh, won't you please let me dream a while?Oh, won't you please let me dream a while?
