Lyrics

Go ahead with your dreamin'  
For what it's worth  
Or you'll be stricken bound  
Kickin' up dirt  
For when it's dark  
You never know what the night it may bring  
  
Go ahead with your schemin'  
And shop at home  
You'll find treasure  
While cookin' up bones  
But the knife is sharp  
You'd better watch that you don't cut your hands  
  
And they covered up the sun  
Until the birds had flown away  
And the fishes in the sea  
Had gone to sleep  
  
And they covered up the sun  
Until the birds had flown away  
And the fishes in the sea  
Had gone to sleep  
  
Go ahead with your dreamin'  
For what it's worth  
Or you'll be stricken bound  
Kickin' up dirt  
For when it's dark  
You never know what the night it may bring  
  
Go ahead with your schemin'  
And shop at home  
You'll find treasure  
While cookin' up bones  
But the knife is sharp  
You'd better watch that you don't cut your hands  
  
And they covered up the sun  
Until the birds had flown away  
And the fishes in the sea  
Had gone to sleep  
  
And they covered up the sun  
Until the birds had flown away  
And the fishes in the sea  
Had gone to sleep  
  
Holy Moses our hearts are screaming  
Souls are lifting only dreaming  
We'll be waiting some are praying  
For a time when no one's cheating  
  
The sunlight rising over the horizon  
Just a distant memory a dawn chorus  
Birds singing bells ringing  
In our hearts in our minds  
  
And they covered up the sun  
Until the birds had flown away  
And the fishes in the sea  
Had gone to sleep  
  
And they covered up the sun  
Until the birds had flown away  
And the fishes in the sea  
Had gone to sleep  
  
And they covered up the sun  
Until the birds had flown away  
And the fishes in the sea  
Had gone to sleep  
  
And they covered up the sun  
Until the birds had flown away  
And the fishes in the sea  
Had gone to sleep
