BARENAKED LADIES

BARENAKED LADIES - When You Dream lyrics

rate me

A life just begun,

A sleeping new son,

His eyes that roll back in his head.

They flutter and dart

He slows down his heart,

Pictures a world past his bed.

It's hard to believe

As I watch you breathe,

Your mind drifts and weaves.

When you dream,

What do you dream about?

When you dream,

What do you dream about?

Do dream about music

Or mathematics

Or planets too far for the eye?

Do you dream about Jesus

Or quantum mechanics

Or angels who sing lullabies?

It's fun to meld pulses

With lives that he's living

And memories he'll learn to ignore.

And when it is closed,

He already knows

He's forgotten all knew him before.

But when sleep sets in,

History begins

What the future will have been.

When you dream

What do you dream about?

When you dream

What do you dream about?

Are they colored or black and white?

Yiddish or English

Or languages not yet conceived?

Are they silent or boisterous?

Do you hear noises

Just loud enough to be perceived?

Do you hear Del Shannon's runaway playing

on transistor radio waves?

With so little experience,

You might not get cognizant of

Viewers beyond your few days.

When you dream,

What do you dream about?

When you dream,

What do you dream about?

When you dream,

What do you dream about?

When you dream,

What do you dream about?

When you dream,

What do you dream about?
