"Other Dreams" lyrics and music by Benjamin Newman /: GD G C D / G C - D :/ It was many years ago, before I first awoke, That I first heard the voices that in the darkness spoke, And they told me many tales, showed me all my hopes and fears, But I haven't heard them speak again for all these many years... Yet I know that they are wise, and their secrets I would know, So I set myself to find them, though I know not where to go. If I only could return to the place we first met! Well, I've been a lifetime searching and I haven't found it yet... / " / " / " / G C D G / For the road is long, and I can't find my way. It was clear enough by moonlight, but it's never there by day; And the harder I try, well, the further it seems, So I guess that I should look for you in other dreams. At the rising of the moon, in a corner of the mind, There are things to be discovered that I thought I'd left behind. In the darkness of the past, I was quite surprised to learn, Dreams I long ago abandoned have awaited my return... Crying, "Child of the day, are you fearful of the night? Then awaken without memory, to greet the morning's light! Or will you be of the few, whose dreams are their own? Do you dare to dream together; Can you bear to dream alone?" For the road is long, and I can't find my way... The vision of the night can be empty and stark, 'Til you recognize the faces that have gathered in the dark. When you come to know yourself in the voices you hear, Dreams you've long forgot the dreaming of, now finally made clear... Yes, the road is long, and I can't find my way, It was clear enough by moonlight, but it's never there by day; Yet, the further I fly, the nearer it seems, So I guess that I'll be seeing you in other dreams.
