Strangers In the Night
Who are these people we meet?
In our sleep
Strangers in the night
That can delight
Or cause fright
Nightmares
Ogres and foreigners
Who we do not see by day
And mysteriously fade away
When the day breaks.
Who are they?
Why do we dream?
Does anyone know
This problem bothers me so
Why can't we sleep in peace
And cease to worry about earthly things?
That fills our daily lives.
Do we need to dream to survive?
Dreams can tug your heartstrings,
Make your soul sing.
Cause you to cry or die.
Another world unfurls
Until we see daylight
And see the disappearance of,
The strangers in the night.
