STEVE HACKETT lyrics - Dreaming With Open Eyes

A rainy drive on a long straight highway

Can cause time to lose it's meaning

And the mind to wander far from the act of driving

Interruptions at every curve no longer jangle against your nerves

A rainbow bridge is not far away

Now you're standing on the steps of a fountain

On a hot summer's day



Running along a tree-lined pathway

Slowing your pace until you feel

Your heart beats in rhythm to the first light of day

Now you're running down a mountain

In the cool blue shade



A waterfall where you lift your head

Colours cascade from green to red

And the fireflies that dance when the light is fading

You drift away on the night ride

With eyes that dream as much as they see

The wind in the willows winding through the grass

The drawbridge of consciousness is lifted at last



Where are you going?
