Bare***** Ladies - When You Dream Lyrics
Words by steven page & ed robertson. music by steven pageWith life just begun, my sleeping new sonHas eyes that roll back in his headThey flutter and dart, he slows down his heartAnd pictures a world past his bedIts hard to believeAs I watch you breatheYour mind drifts and weavesWhen you dream,What do you dream about?When you dream,What do you dream about?Do you dream aboutMusic or mathematicsOr planets too far for the eye?Do you dream aboutJesus or quantum mechanicsOr angels who sing lullabies?His fontanelle pulses with lives that hes livedWith memories hell learn to ignoreAnd when it is closed, he already knowsHes forgotten all he knew beforeBut when sleep sets inHistory beginsBut the future will winWhen you dream,What do you dream about?When you dream,What do you dream about?Are they colour or black and white,Yiddish or englishOr languages not yet conceived?Are they silent or boisterous?Do you hear noises justLoud enough to be perceived?Do you hear del shannons runaway playingOn transistor radio waves?With so little experience,Your mind not yet cognizantAre you wise beyond your few days?When you dream,What do you dream about?When you dream,What do you dream about?
