The Dream Song Lyrics - Joan Baez

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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
