I woke last night I was restless There was darkness There was silence On the waters Somewhere in the distance I could hear applause, applause When the lights came out I was closing the Garden, Madison Square! Oh, the dream goes on! Oh, the dream goes on! Oh, the dream goes on! And on, and on! If i had no dreams I could cling to I' be cold I'd be lifeless Just like the moon Doomed To existence In another's reflection Trapped like a rat In a mental cocoon In a vacuum! But the dream goes on! Oh, the dream goes on! Oh, the dream goes on! And on, and on!
