Billy Joel - the river of dreams

밤에 걷는 주인공은 잃어버린 무엇인가를 찾기 위해 깊은 강과 다양한 풍경을 지나며 소중한 것을 되찾으려 노력한다
그는 신앙이나 영적 삶에 대한 의문을 가지지만, 결국 꿈의 강에 의해 우리 모두가 이어져 있음을 깨닫는다
이 과정에서 삶의 의미와 진리를 찾고자 하는 깊은 갈망을 드러낸다

Oooooooh~~~~~~~~~~~

In the middle of the night, I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith, to the river so deep
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost, but the river is wide
And it`s too hard to cross

Even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
And try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find out what I`ve been looking for

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 searching for something
Taken out of my soul, something I would never lose
Something somebody stole

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 the 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

Oooooooh~~~~~~~~~~~

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 in the ocean, we all start in the streams
Were all carried along, by the river of dreams
In the middle of the night.
