I had a dream I was following a barefoot girl
Beside a stream that flowed around the world And we spoke of many things
though her mouth never moved As the most peculiar scenes were disappearing
into view
Oh what a dream beyond the realm of why Pretty
little beings beneath the yawning sky Speaking of God as though they could
define Music to the deaf and color to the blind or God to man
And then the leaves became a thousand tears And
I was on my knees in a crazy house of mirrors I couldn't find my face but a
voice was drawing nearer Hush baby, sweet baby, hush don't you cry
And I thought I woke and my mother was standing
there And my heart broke as the ribbons in her hair Turned into highways
surrounded and swirled Like a crown come down around a not so perfect world
In the corner of the dream was the man with the
blue guitar It had no strings but the music touched the stars And his
long dark curls turned to gold before my eyes And the barefoot girl smiled
off to the side and it was real
Then a thousand birds took flight with a joyful
noise And I heard the angels up on high rejoice I could see my face and
I recognized the voice Hush baby, sweet baby, hush baby hush
It's just a dream, one of those that goes on and on
Scene after scene with the rhythm of a gypsy song When I really woke I
was frozen in between I didn't know who I was, it was a dream inside a dream
It's all a dream Oh what a dream I had a
dream
