Over-Nighting It On the Dreamer's Yacht

The ship is always loaded With misty looking folks Who fill the decks and cabins Wrapped in dreamers’ cloaks No one lies too far Or near the closest sleeper And being all together Just helps the dreams go deeper Waves lap in steady rhythm Against the wooden sides Winds blow with gentle coolness Matching ocean tides The number of the dreamers Doesn’t matter much Their bodies lie in safety While their spirits strive To touch The endless Place of future, past or Even never And anything is possible - No limits whatsoever The dreamers’ yacht rides Up and down As wind blows As water flows The dreaming yacht goes Back and forth As water blows As wind flows And so it goes And so it goes All the night long Until the sun comes up And wakes them With a sweet good morning song And somehow all the dreamers Rise from their own beds On land or on the sea With no memory in their heads Of Riding safely; warmly Up and down Back and forth As wind blows As water flows In syncopated rhythm As water blows; As wind flows And so it goes And so it goes People live their daily lives Never knowing others But somehow feel connections As sisters and as brothers It may be that they’re fellow Dreamers Whose spirits sleep together Every night on that sweet boat In soft angelic weather
