The River of Dreams (In the middle of the night)

Billy Joel

In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep from the mountains of faith to a river so deep I must be looking for something something sacred I lost But the river is wide and it's too hard to cross And even thought I knew the river is wide I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore And try to cross to the opposite side So I can finally find out 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 And I've been searching for something taken away of my soul Something I would never lose something somebody stole I don't know why I go walking at night But now I'm tired and I don't walk anymore I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life Until I find what it is I've been looking for In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep Through the jungle of doubt to a river so deep I know I'm searching for something something so undefined That it only can be seen by the eyes of a blind In the middle of the night I'm not sure about life after this god knows I've never been a spiritual man Babtized by the fire, I wade into the river That turns to be the promised land In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep Through the desert of truth to a river so deep We're all land 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
