Текст песни In My Dreams - The Waterboys

Ever since I was a child
I have been able to fly in my dreams
Ever since I was a child
I have been able to fly in my dreams

Yet oftentimes I find myself on a rollercoaster, not in control
Or on a busy street, naked
Or come to play a concert with no equipment
Or to make a record, with no songs

In almost every dream is a magical bookstore
In others an artistic village, set apart
Or a large house with secret attic
Filled with my tapes and papers
In the corner, a wardrobe of childhood treasures
Sometimes I step on a bus and notice I'm barefoot
Step off again to find myself in Venice meets San Francisco

Musicians populate my dreams
My band members old and new
Certain Rolling Stones
Ian MacDonald from King Crimson
David Bowie showing me round Dryden Chambers

Thighpaulsandra, Sly Stone
Amy Winehouse still alive
Vivian Stanshall punning in a cafe
And imaginary musicians
A singer named Imperfecto, Sonic Dave
The Amazing Brothers
Alec Finn starblown like a young Bolan
Iggy Pop, an old sly dragon

Over time I trained myself to always write down my dreams, before stepping out of bed
And if I start to forget
Lay my head on the pillow again
And it all comes flooding back
It all comes flooding back

Last night I dreamed, and all the same characters
All the same scenes were there
And my young self broke through
And made all my choices

Ever since I was a child
I have been able to fly in my dreams
