Lyrics
The Sleeper & The Dreamer
Last night I dreamt of horses,
Running thunder after midnight
Last night I dreamt of horses,
Ghost white horses in the moonlight
And they ran a random pattern,
Like raindrops on a windshield
A crazy zig- zag pattern,
Like a soldier through a minefield
Ooh, ooh, ooh?
Am I the Sleeper and the Dreamer?
Seems like the reaper?s close behind
Is this a race that can?t be won?
Am I the Sleeper and the Dreamer?
Last night I dreamed of riding,
The wild wind with the reaper
Last night I tasted freedom,
As the dreamer watched the sleeper
And I floated out of body,
Became a ghost horse on the run
With the reaper close behind me,
In the race that can?t be won
Ooh, ooh, ooh?
Am I the Sleeper and the Dreamer?
Seems like the reaper?s close behind
Is this a race that can?t be won?
Am I the Sleeper and the Dreamer?
Last night I dreamt of horses,
Wild mad horses of death
Of the futile race we?re running,
With each and every breath
Last night won?t be the last night,
I go out without myself
So the Dreamer puts his horses,
Back on the Sleeper?s shelf
Am I the Sleeper and the Dreamer?
Seems like the reaper?s close behind
Is this a race that can?t be won?
Am I the Sleeper and the Dreamer?
Seems like the reaper?s close behind
Is this a race that can?t be won?
As the Dreamer watched the Sleeper?
