THE DREAM STEALER

I come in the night to steal your dreams away
When you rise you cannot see me
I’m already gone before the day has dawned
Another day, another dream

Should I show my face? Let you hear my voice?
What stories would you tell?
Who would believe you if you told them that you knew
What was on the other side?

Don’t let me catch you, don’t let me catch you
Don’t let me catch you, don’t let me catch you

The other day—how strange it was to me
A child looked me in the eye
He’d lost his home, he’d lost everything
He could see me in the night

With my cane I tap upon the earth
Saying, “Mother, let me in”
How did you think you could ever run from me?
Just close your eyes, I’m here again

Don’t let me catch you, don’t let me catch you
Don’t let me catch you, don’t let me catch you

(Farfiddler)
