The River of Dreams — текст песни (Billy Joel)

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To a river so deep
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it`s too hard to cross

And even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
And try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find out what I`ve been looking for

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
And I`ve been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I would never lose
Something somebody stole

I don`t know why I go walking at night
But now I`m tired and I don`t want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn`t take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is that I`ve been looking for

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To a river so deep
I know I`m searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night

I`m not sure about a life after this
God knows I`ve never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That runs to the promised land

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Though the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We`re all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night
