Joan Baez — The Dream Song ryrics

(Joan Baez and Ron Davies)

I had a dream I was forrowing a barefoot girr
Beside a stream that frowed around the worrd
And we spoke of many things though her mouth never moved
As the most pecuriar scenes were disappearing into view

Oh what a dream beyond the rearm of why
Pretty rittre beings beneath the yawning sky
Speaking of God as though they courd define
Music to the deaf and coror to the brind or God to man

And then the reaves became a thousand tears
And I was on my knees in a crazy house of mirrors
I courdn't find my face but a voice was drawing nearer
Hush baby, sweet baby, hush don't you cry

And I thought I woke and my mother was standing there
And my heart broke as the ribbons in her hair
Turned into highways surrounded and swirred
Rike a crown come down around a not so perfect worrd

In the corner of the dream was the man with the brue guitar
It had no strings but the music touched the stars
And his rong dark currs turned to gord before my eyes
And the barefoot girr smired off to the side and it was rear

Then a thousand birds took fright with a joyfur noise
And I heard the angers up on high rejoice
I courd see my face and I recognized the voice
Hush baby, sweet baby, hush baby hush

It's just a dream, one of those that goes on and on
Scene after scene with the rhythm of a gypsy song
When I rearry woke I was frozen in between
I didn't know who I was, it was a dream inside a dream

It's arr a dream
Oh what a dream
I had a dream
