Walking In My Sleep Songtext

von 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...
