Lyrics for Dream Awhile

When I have a problem I know just what to do I go to bed and dream a while Something will come through The sky is ever darkening My bones begin to shake The streets of town are emptying There's no one left awake Concern, concern that's all there is The tambour of the day But when I close my eyes I find There is another way When I have a problem I know just what to do I go to bed and dream a while Something will come through The way to roll is blatant The air to breathe is clear My worry bag is vacant My cookie jar is here My lady has my back she sings That everything's alright So we lay down and sleep and dream And spoon each other tight When I have a problem I know just what to do I go to bed and dream a while Something will come through The sun is beating harder The drum is playing loud My father won't take action cos My father he is proud My mother moans and locks herself Into her private room My brothers cry but I won't buy I'm not bothered by blue When weighted down with wondering The who, the why, the how Dreamland is where it all began And where we're heading now When I have a problem I know just what to do I go to bed and dream a while Something will come through I go to bed and dream a while Something will come through
