Dreams - The Guess Who

作词：Burton Cummings/Dominic Troiano

作曲：Burton Cummings/Dominic Troiano

I was lost and tossed on a misty mornin'

By a drunken sailor

And the genie in the bottle

Let me down

I was raised on cain in the name of the father

And the mother

And the brother

And the other who was never even round

On a wind swept coast

With the black knight falling

I was heard to be calling

That my ship and all it's crew

Were going down

As the sun ran slowly

By a childhood rivulet

A jeweled king summoned me

Commanding that I run and tell the town

Saw you saw me

Run quickly now

Run and hide away

Run and hide today

In a room in a castle

Full of faceless lovers

I was cut and bleeding

And the image in the mirror

Struck me down

I was chased and beaten

By a well drilled team of little men

Breathing colors and abandoned in a coffin

In the ground

As a pale young virgin

Made a meal of a martyr

She was hailed as holy

By the only ones who stood

And held their ground

When a bright Monalisa

With the eyes of a tiger

Read a new proclamation

I was stricken from her list and never found

Saw you saw me

Run quickly now

Run and hide away

Run and hide today ooh

Seems they come and go so quickly

Disappear like sunlight in the evening

And they may not ever be explained woooh

Seems like they come and go so quickly

Disappearin' in the air like a breath of wind

And they may not ever be explained

And I woke up thinkin' I was dyin'

If you find one hang on with all you got

Way down deep deep in your soul

For it may not ever come again

And I woke up crying like a baby

Hey yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay

Yeah babe oh

No they may not ever be explained

And I woke up thinkin' by you

If you find what hang on

With everything you've got deep down ever you saw

Oh they may not ever be explained

And I woke up crying like a baby

Seems like they comin' go so quickly

Disappear like sunlight in the evening

And they may not ever be explained

And I woke up thinkin' I was dyin'
