Billy Joel - River of Dreams (Live) w/ Lyrics

*lyrics below* (C) 1993 SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT. I don't own anything.

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To the river so deep
I must be lookin' for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross
even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and stand on the shore
I try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find what I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I'd never lose
Something somebody stole
I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is I've been looking for
(Two beat Pause)
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To the river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night (break)

Im not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That is runnin' to the promised land (Long Five beat Pause)

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night

What a great performance of one of Bill's best songs! It's like a shot of energy to your soul

[Daniel Vena]

I have been listening to this song since it was released. I have this to say:

It can only be seen by the eyes of the blind in the middle of the night.

Billy Joel.

[Ian Okamoto]

Haha

House actually does play piano in the show, it's pretty intense.

[batonkatos]

Glade i finally found this song after so long

[Paul Mercedes]

...this is probably about Billy stumbling around after a 48 hours whiskey binge...
