{t:The River Of Dreams} {st:Billy Joel} In the middle of the [G]night I go walking in my [G]sleep From the mountains of [C]faith To a river so [D]deep I must be looking for [G]something Something sacred I l[G]ost But the river is [C]wide And it's too hard to c[D]ross Refrain: (strum each chord for a half-note duration) [Em]And even though I know the [D]river is wide I walk down [C]every evening and I s[Bm7]tand on the shore [C]And try to cross to the o[Bm7]pposite side So I can [A7]finally find what I've been s[D]earching for [N.C.] In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep Through the valley of fear To a river so deep And I've been serching for something Taken out of my soul Something I would never lose Something somebody stole Refrain (repeat refrain chords): I don't know why I go walking at night But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life Until I find what it is that I've been looking for In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep Through the jungle of doubt To a river so deep I know I'm searching for something Something so undefined That it can only be seen By the eyes of the blind In the middle of the night Refrain: I'm not sure about a life after this God knows I've never been a spiritual man Baptized by the fire, I wade into The river that runs to the promised land In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep Through the desert of truth To the river so deep We all end up in the ocean We all start in the streams We're all carried along By the river of dreams In the middle of the night
