1
I had a dream, I was following a barefoot girl
2
Beside a stream that flowed around the world
3
We spoke of many things though her mouth never moved
4
As the most peculiar scenes were disappearing into view
5
Oh, what a dream, beyond the realm of why
6
Pretty little beings beneath the yawning sky
7
Speaking of God as though they could define
8
Music to the deaf and color to the blind or God to man
9
And then the leaves became a thousand tears
10
I was on my knees in a crazy house of mirrors
11
Couldn't find my face but a voice was drawing nearer
12
Hush baby, sweet baby, hush don't you cry
13
And I thought I woke and my mother was standing there
14
And my heart broke as the ribbons in her hair
15
Turned into highways surrounded and swirled
16
Like a crown come down around a not so perfect world
17
In the corner of the dream was the man with the blue guitar
18
It had no strings but the music touched the stars
19
His long dark curls turned to gold before my eyes
20
The barefoot girl smiled off to the side and it was real
21
Then a thousand birds took flight with a joyful noise
22
And I heard the angels up on high rejoice
23
I could see my face and I recognized the voice
24
Hush baby, sweet baby, hush baby, hush
25
It's just a dream, one of those that goes on and on
26
Scene after scene with the rhythm of a gypsy song
27
When I really woke, I was frozen in between
28
Didn't know who I was, it was a dream inside a dream, it's just a dream
29
Oh, what a dream
30
It's all a dream
