Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Go ahead with your dreamin'
For what it's worth
Or you'll be stricken bound
Kickin' up dirt
For when it's dark
You never know what the night it may bring
[Verse 2]
Go ahead with your schemin'
And shop at home
You'll find treasure
While cookin' up bones
But the knife is sharp
You'd better watch that you don't cut your hands
[Verse 3]
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
[Verse 4]
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
[Verse 5]
Go ahead with your dreamin'
For what it's worth
Or you'll be stricken bound
Kickin' up dirt
For when it's dark
You never know what the night it may bring
[Verse 6]
Go ahead with your schemin'
And shop at home
You'll find treasure
While cookin' up bones
But the knife is sharp
You'd better watch that you don't cut your hands
[Verse 7]
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
[Verse 8]
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
[Verse 9]
Holy Moses our hearts are screaming
Souls are lifting only dreaming
We'll be waiting some are praying
For a time when no one's cheatin'
[Verse 10]
The sunlight rising over the horizon
Just a distant memory the dawn chorus
Birds singing bells ringing
In our hearts in our minds...
[Verse 11]
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
[Verse 12]
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
