Retropost #1670 (23 de junio de 2007): River of Dreams



Hemos estado de funerales, donde cada vez nos vamos viendo más hasta que ya no nos veamos. Por suerte hasta a los ausentes se los puede ver en fotos, en vídeos — y en sueños se siguen apareciendo cuando lo juzgan oportuno. El pasado está en sitio seguro. O, al menos, eso nos gusta pensar. Es nuestro más allá particular.
Aquí hay un bonito vídeo de Billy Joel, River of Dreams. 







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 lookin' 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 stand on the shore
I try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find what it is 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
I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I'd 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 finally find what it is 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

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 is runnin' 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
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night
