http://djallyn.org/media/Gary-Wright-Dream-Weaver.flvI’ve just closed my eyes again
Climbed aboard the dream weaver train
Driver take away my worries of today
And leave tomorrow behindOoh dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
Fly me high through the starry skies
Maybe to an astral plane
Cross the highways of fantasy
Help me to forget today’s painOoh dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning lightThough the dawn may be coming soon
There still may be some time
Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
And meet me on the other sideOoh dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
