Billy Joel "The River Of Dreams" lyrics

The River Of Dreams

In the middle of the nightI go walking in my sleepFrom the mountains of faithTo a river so deep

I must be looking for somethingSomething sacred I lostBut the river is wideAnd it's too hard to cross

And even though I know the river is wideI walk down every evening and I stand on the shoreAnd try to cross to the opposite sideSo I can finally find out what I've been looking for

In the middle of the nightI go walking in my sleepThrough the valley of fearTo a river so deep

And I've been searching for somethingTaken out of my soulSomething I would never loseSomething somebody stole

I don't know why I go walking at nightBut now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymoreI hope it doesn't take the rest of my lifeUntil I find what it is that I've been looking for

In the middle of the nightI go walking in my sleepThrough the jungle of doubtTo a river so deep

I know I'm searching for somethingSomething so undefinedThat it can only be seenBy the eyes of the blind

In the middle of the night

I'm not sure about a life after thisGod knows I've never been a spiritual manBaptized by the fire, I wade into the riverThat runs to the promised land

In the middle of the nightI go walking in my sleepThrough the desert of truthTo the river so deep

We all end in the oceanWe all start in the streamsWe're all carried alongBy the river of dreams

In the middle of the night
