In My Dreams

Lyrics

Ever since I was a child I have been able to fly in my dreams Ever since I was a child I have been able to fly in my dreams Yet oftentimes I find myself On a rollercoaster, not in control Or on a busy street, naked Or playing a concert with no equipment Or making a record with no songs In almost every dream is a magical bookstore In others an artistic village, set apart Or a large house with secret attic Filled with my tapes and papers In the corner a wardrobe of childhood treasures Sometimes I step on a bus and notice I'm barefoot Step off again to find myself In Venice meets San Francisco Musicians populate my dreams My band members old and new Certain Rolling Stones I An MacDonald from King Crimson David Bowie showing me round Dryden Chambers Thighpaulsandra, Sly Stone Amy Winehouse still alive Vivian Stanshall punning in a cafe And imaginary musicians: A singer named Imperfecto, Sonic Dave The Amazing Brothers Alec Finn starblown like a young Bolan Iggy Pop, an old sly dragon Over time I trained myself To always write down my dreams Before stepping out of bed And if I start to forget Lay my head once more on the pillow And it all comes flooding back It all comes flooding back Last night I dreamed and all the same characters All the same scenes were there And my young self broke through And made all my choices Ever since I was a child I have been able to fly in my dreams
