Goodnight Sweet Dreams

Petula Clark


In the blindness of creation
In a multitude of crimes
Where there's no communication
In a message filled with rhymes

Down a green embroidered stairway
Through a manhole in the wall
Left to wallow in the sewers
Hearing echoes down the hall

Goodnight
Sweet Dreams
Don't you know the mighty sun is dawning
Goodnight
Sweet Dreams
Let me wake up to the pureness of the morning
Sweet dreams are gone again 

Stranded high upon a tower
In a nonexistant town
Fighting vertigo in color
And there's no way to come down
Someone rings an elevator
And he offers you escape
And you fall into a classroom
Where you fail attempted hate  Goodnight
Sweet Dreams
Don't you know the mighty sun is dawning
Goodnight
Sweet Dreams
Let me wake up to the pureness of the morning

Sweet dreams are gone again

Hearing music that was written by a giant feather pen
And forgetting all the changes when I whistled it again
Then I suddenly remember in the boredom of the day
I was dreaming of awaking when the music slipped away

Goodnight
Sweet Dreams
Don't you know the mighty sun is dawning
Goodnight
Sweet Dreams
Let me wake up to the pureness of the morning

Goodnight
