Dreams

Uriah Heep


You should have seen 
Tuesday's dream 
Dancing in my head 
For you'd have heard 
A thousand words 
That nobody had said 

And you'd have 
Watched me try to run 
Where dreams have 
Never strayed 
Heard my cries because 
I know I really was afraid 

Dreams, dreams, I'll never keep 
My body rests 
But my eyes refuse to sleep 
Sights and sounds 
My mind created 
Far beyond the thoughts 
Of which we speak 

And then we danced 
On silver wings 
Upon a gilded thread 
I heard the song the angel sings 
To bless my lowered head 

And at the door of paradise 
My best laid plan begun 
But as I turned to reach for you 
My coloured night, it was gone
