The river of dreams (video) (midi)

G - Em - D + G - C - D

G

1. In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep,

C D

from the mountains of faith to the river so deep.

G

I must be looking for something, something sacred I lost,

C D

but the river is wide and it's too hard to cross.

Em G

And even though I know the river is wide

C D

I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore,

Em G

and try to cross to the opposite side

A D

so I can finally find what I've been looking for.

2. In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep,

C D

through the valley of fear to a river so deep.

G

And I've been searching for something taken out of my soul,

C D

something I’d never lose, something somebody stole.

Em G

I don't know why I go walking at night,

C D

but now I'm tired and I don't wanna walk anymore.

Em G

I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life,

A D

until I find what it is I've been looking for.

3. In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep,

C D

through the jungle of doubt to the river so deep,

G

I know I'm searching for something, something so undefined

C D

that it only can be seen by the eyes of a blind

G

in the middle of the night.

+ G - C - D (2x)

Em G

I'm not sure about a life after this,

C D

God knows I've never been a spiritual man,

Em G A

baptized by the fire, I wade into the river

D

that is running through the promised land. - - - - -

4. In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep,

C D

through the desert of truth to the river so deep.

G

We all end in the ocean, we all start in the streams,

C D

we're all carried along by the river of dreams,

G

in the middle of the night.

+ G - C - D (4x, with varying bits of lyrics) ...
