I had a dream I was following a barefoot girl
Gm D# D
Beside a stream that flowed around the world
D# F A# D#
And we spoke of many things though her mouth never moved
Cm F A# D Gm
As the most peculiar scenes were disappearing into view, oh what a dream
D# D
Beyond the realm of why
Gm D# D
Pretty little beings beneath the yawning sky
D# F A# D#
Speaking of God as though they could define
Cm F A# D Gm
Music to the deaf and color to the blind or God to man
D#--D
Cm G# G#m
And then the leaves became a thousand tears
Cm G# G#m
And I was on my knees in a crazy house of mirrors
Cm G# G#m
I couldn't find my face but a voice was drawing nearer
Cm D Gm D# D
Hush baby, sweet baby, hush don't you cry
Gm D# D
And I thought I woke and my mother was standing there
Gm D# D
And my heart broke as the ribbons in her hair
D# F A# D#
Turned into highways surrounded and swirled
Cm F A# D
Like a crown come down around a not so perfect world
Gm D# D
In the corner of the dream was the man with the blue guitar
Gm D# D
It had no strings but the music touched the stars
D# F A# D#
And his long dark curls turned to gold before my eyes
Cm F A# D Gm
And the barefoot girl smiled off to the side and it was real
Cm G# G#m
Then a thousand birds took flight with a joyful noise
Cm G# G#m
And I heard the angels up on high rejoice
Cm G# G#m
I could see my face and I recognized the voice
Cm D Gm D# D
Hush baby, sweet baby, hush baby hush
Gm D# D
It's just a dream, one of those that goes on and on
Gm D# D
Scene after scene with the rhythm of a gypsy song
D# F A# D#
When I really woke I was frozen in between
Cm F A# D
I didn't know who I was, it was a dream inside a dream
Gm
It's all a dream
D#
Oh what a dream
Gm
I had a dream
