Joan Baez - The Dream Song
Dalszöveg
I had a dream,
I was following a barefoot girl
Beside a stream that
flowed around the world
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
I was on my knees in a crazy house
of mirrors
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
His long dark curls
turned to gold before my eyes
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
Didn't know who I was,
it was a dream inside a dream,
it's just a dream
Oh, what a dream
It's all a dream
I was following a barefoot girl
Beside a stream that
flowed around the world
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
I was on my knees in a crazy house
of mirrors
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
His long dark curls
turned to gold before my eyes
The barefoot girl smiled

Then a thousand birds took

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
Didn't know who I was,
it was a dream inside a dream,
it's just a dream
Oh, what a dream
It's all a dream
