Dreams
King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
The witching hour has arrived here too soon
I know that all my dreams are inside this room
Oh... yeah, it's all in this tune
Dreams in the night, falling like rain
Dreams in the night, they drive me insane
They cannot wait until i turn off the light
When i'm asleep they've got the key to my mind
Oh... yeah, can't leave them behind
Dreams in the night, falling like rain
Dreams in the night, they drive me insane
Dreams in the night.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, give me another dream now
The spider's lullabye is all they can sing
As they inject their poison into my brain
Oh... yeah, they're calling my name
Dreams in the night, falling like rain
Dreams in the night, they drive me insane
Give me another dream now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, give me another dream now
Rainbows and waterfalls
Little girls are swimming in a pond of gold
I'm growing old
I'm growing old
Sweet blue eyes of innocence
Begging me...
To follow them to the other side
Ah... they're growing horns!!!
Dreams in the night, falling like rain
Dreams in the night, they drive me insane
Dreams in the night
Let me out of these dreams... dreams... dreams
Let me out of these dreams... dreams... dreams
Let me out of these dreams... dreams... dreams
I know that all my dreams are inside this room
Oh... yeah, it's all in this tune
Dreams in the night, falling like rain
Dreams in the night, they drive me insane
They cannot wait until i turn off the light
When i'm asleep they've got the key to my mind
Oh... yeah, can't leave them behind
Dreams in the night, falling like rain
Dreams in the night, they drive me insane
Dreams in the night.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, give me another dream now
The spider's lullabye is all they can sing
As they inject their poison into my brain
Oh... yeah, they're calling my name
Dreams in the night, falling like rain
Dreams in the night, they drive me insane
Give me another dream now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, give me another dream now
Rainbows and waterfalls
Little girls are swimming in a pond of gold
I'm growing old
I'm growing old
Sweet blue eyes of innocence
Begging me...
To follow them to the other side
Ah... they're growing horns!!!
Dreams in the night, falling like rain
Dreams in the night, they drive me insane
Dreams in the night
Let me out of these dreams... dreams... dreams
Let me out of these dreams... dreams... dreams
Let me out of these dreams... dreams... dreams
