The road stretches on from unknown destination Across open streams through fields of carnations It enters a city, a building, it stretches ahead It stops at the feet, the feet of his bed He's aware of a small inclination A dream in a dream , he pays no attention Oranges hover and faces all over he knows Is how the dream goes Caught within a dream within a dream A man within a man Caught within a thought within a thought A notion so deep, he will drown in his sleep The wind whistles lower and the windows are yielding The telephone rings in the opposite building A voice with a likable, unrecognizable air It runs in the walls, it isn't quite there He's aware of a change in the weather A dream in a dream , he'll think of it later A wonderful melody line that he couldn't quite get He couldn't remember, he'd never forget Chorus
