THE RIVER OF DREAMS

Billy Joel

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep

From the mountains of faith
To a 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

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
I go walking in my sleep

Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep

And 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 anymore

I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is
That I've been looking for

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep

Through the jungle of doubt
To a 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

Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That runs to the promised land

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep

Though 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
