Go ahead with your dreaming for what it's worth
Or you'll be stricken bound kicking up dirt
For when it's dark
You never know what the night it may bringGo ahead with your scheming and shop at home
You'll find treasure while cooking up bones
But the knife is sharp
You'd better watch that you don't cut your handsAnd they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleepAnd they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleepGo ahead with your dreaming for what it's worth
Or you'll be stricken bound kicking up dirt
For when it's dark
You never know what the night it may bringGo ahead with your scheming and shop at home
You'll find treasure while cooking up bones
But the knife is sharp
You'd better watch that you don't cut your handsAnd they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleepAnd they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleepHoly Moses, our hearts are screaming
Souls are lifting, only dreaming
We'll be waiting, some are praying
For a time when no one's cheatingThe sunlight rising over the horizon
Just a distant memory, the dawn chorus
Birds singing, bells ringing
In our hearts, in our mindsAnd they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleepAnd they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleepAnd they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleepAnd they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
