Walking In My Sleep - Eric Andersen

I had a dream of you

I dreamed of you last night

Sailing on the Isle de France

A study of white and blue

A piano of ivory

First you sat and played

You were dancing between the tables

I couldn’t take my eyes away

Then in my dream you walked right off the floor

I might as well have been back in Crete

Just me, the empty bottles, and tables

I can’t believe I’m back on the street

Walking in my sleep

If ya wanna dream, baby

It’s alright with me

Ya wanna share a dream

You can share a dream with me

That time in Istanbul

We caught a fast train to Spain

To run with the bulls in Pamplona

You swore you’d dance flamenco again

Things were fine in Milano

Everything til then was ah bien

It was in the piazza San Marco

That’s where my troubles began

There’s a slow boat to China

It left the day before yesterday

I know a beach in Sri Lanka

I got an uncle in Tampa Bay

It’ll probably be the Striats of Magellan

Far up north way beyond Saskatoon

I only hope the next time I am stranded

I ain’t very far from Rangoon

Walking in my sleep

If ya wanna dream, baby

It’s alright with me

Ya wanna share a dream

You can share a dream with me

Walking in my sweet, sweet dream

The colors are so real

You can touch the ones you feel

Every dreamer was alone

til the world could see his soul…
