Steve Hackett Lyrics
"Dreaming With Open Eyes"

A rainy drive, on a long straight highway
Can 'cause time to lose it's meaning
And the mind to wander far from the act of driving
Interruptions at every curve, no longer jangle against your nerves
A rainbow bridge is not far away

Now you're standing on the steps of a fountain
On a hot summer's day
Running along a tree-lined pathway
Slowing your pace until you feel
Your heart beats in rhythm to the first light of day

Now you're running down a mountain
In the cool blue shade
A waterfall where you lift your head
Colors cascade from green to red
And the fireflies that dance, when the light is fading

You drift away on the night ride
With eyes that dream as much as they see
The wind in the willows winding through the grass
The drawbridge of consciousness is lifted at last
Where are you going?
