| Lyrics: | JOHN OF DREAMS
C F C / C F C / C G Am / C F C / C F C
When midnight comes,
good people homeward tread;
Seek now your blankets and your feather bed.
Home is the
rover, his journey's over.
Yield up the nighttime to old John of Dreams,
Yield up the
nighttime to old John of Dreams.
Across the hills the sun has gone
astray;
Tomorrow's cares are many dreams away
Home is the rover, her journey's
over.
Yield up the darkness to old John of Dreams,
Yield up the darkness to old John of
Dreams.
Both man and master in the night are one;
All things are equal when the day
is done.
The Prince and the plowman, the slave and the freeman.
All find their comfort in
old John of Dreams,
All find their comfort in old John of Dreams.
Now as you sleep
the dreams come winging clear;
The hawks of morning cannot harm you here.
Sleep is a
river, flows on forever,
And for your boatman choose old John of Dreams,
And for your
boatman choose old John of Dreams.
