Barenaked Ladies "When You Dream" |
A life just begun, A sleeping new son, His eyes that roll back in his head. They flutter and dart He slows down his heart, Pictures a world past his bed. It's hard to believe As I watch you breathe, Your mind drifts and weaves. When you dream, What do you dream about? When you dream, What do you dream about? Do dream about music Or mathematics Or planets too far for the eye? Do you dream about Jesus Or quantum mechanics Or angels who sing lullabies? His fontanel pulses With lives that he's living And memories he'll learn to ignore. And when it is closed, He already knows He's forgotten all knew him before. But when sleep sets in, History begins But the future will win. When you dream What do you dream about? When you dream What do you dream about? Are they colored or black and white? Yiddish or English Or languages not yet conceived? Are they silent or boisterous? Do you hear noises Just loud enough to be perceived? Do you hear Del Shannon's runaway playing on transistor radio waves? With so little experience, Your mind not yet cognizant, or are you wise beyond your few days? When you dream, What do you dream about? When you dream, What do you dream about? When you dream, What do you dream about? When you dream, What do you dream about? When you dream, What do you dream about? Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
