I had a dr eam I was following a barefoot g irl
Beside a s tream that flowed a round the worl d
And we s poke of many t hings though her m outh never mo ved
As the m ost peculiar s cenes were d isappearing into v iew oh what a d ream
Beyond the r ealm of w hy
Pretty little be ings beneath the y awning s ky
S peaking of G od as th ough they could de fine
M usic to the de af and c olor to the b lind or God to m an
A nd then the leaves became a t housand t ears
A nd I was on my knees in a crazy h ouse of m irrors
I couldn't find my face but a voice was d rawing n earer
H ush baby s weet baby h ush d on't you c ry
And I thought I w oke and my mother was s tanding t here
And my heart b roke as the ribbons i n her h air
T urned into h ighways su rrounded and s wirled
Like a c rown come down a round a n ot so perfect w orld
In the corner of the d ream was the man with the b lue g uitar
It had no s trings but the music t ouched the s tars
And his l ong dark c urls turned to go ld before my e yes
And t he barefoot g irl smiled of f to the s ide and i t was real
T hen a thousand birds took flight with a j oyful n oise
A nd I heard the angels up on h igh r ejoice
I could see my face and I recogni zed the v oice
H ush baby s weet baby h ush b aby hush
It's just a d ream one of those that goes o n and o n
Scene after s cene with the rhythm of a g ypsy s ong
W hen I really w oke I was f rozen in b etween
I didn't k now who I w as it was a d ream inside a d ream
I t's all a dream
O h what a dream
I had a dream
