The River Of Dreams

                      G
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep 
                      C                   D 
from the mountains of faith to a river so deep 
                      G                             
I must be looking for something something sacred I lost 
                 C                         D 
But the river is wide and it's too hard to cross 
 
Em                          D 
And even thought I knew the river is wide 
            C                   G/B 
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore 
C                       G/B 
And try to cross to the opposite side 
         A7                              D 
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for 
 
                      G                         
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep 
                       C                  D 
Through the  valley of fear to a river so deep 
                            G                           
And I've been searching for something taken away of my soul 
                        C                       D 
Something I would never lose something somebody stole 
  
Em                    D 
I don't know why I go walking at night 
            C                 G/B 
But now I'm tired and I don't walk anymore 
C                           G/B 
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life 
        A7                         D 
Until I find what it is I've been looking for 
  
                     G                         G 
In the middle of the night  I go walking in my sleep 
                      C                   D 
Through the jungle of doubt to a river so deep 
                         G                      G 
I know I'm searching for something something so undefined 
                    C                     D 
That it only can be seen by the eyes of a blind 
 
                     G 
In the middle of the night 
  
Em                            D 
I'm not sure about life after this 
          C                 G/B 
god knows I've never been a spiritual man 
C                       G/B 
Babtized by the fire, I wade into the river 
     A7              D 
That turns to be the promised land 

                      G                         
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep 
                      C                   D 
Through the desert of truth to a river so deep 
                      G                          
We're all land in the ocean we all start in the streams 
                  C                     D 
We're all carried along by the river of dreams 
 
                     G 
In the middle of the night
