River Of Dreams Lyrics

Billy Joel River Of Dreams

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 looking 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 I stand on the shore
I 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
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 any more
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is I've been looking for

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

I'm not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptised by the fire, I wade into the river
That is running to the promised land

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
