Written by Gary Wright from his 1975 album The Dream Weaver.
This prog-pop classic is considered a forerunner to the synth-pop that was so prevalent in the early ‘80s. The track features Wright on vocals, keyboards and synthesizers with Jim Keltner on drums.
The lyrics were inspired by a book give...
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
I've just closed my eyes again
Climbed aboard the Dream Weaver train
Driver, take away my worries of today
And leave tomorrow behind
[Chorus]
Ooh, Dream Weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh, Dream Weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
[Verse 2]
Fly me high through the starry skies
Or maybe to an astral plane
Cross the highways of fantasy
Help me to forget today's pain
[Chorus]
Ooh, Dream Weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh, Dream Weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
[Verse 3]
Though the dawn may be coming soon
There still may be some time
Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
And meet me on the other side
[Chorus]
Ooh, Dream Weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh, Dream Weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
[Outro]
Dream Weaver
Dream Weaver
