The Dreaming (with Sister Savage)

Uploaded .

202

Sometimes you need to stay up late to try to force yourself to dream.

When I wrote this song (and started singing it a bit), I knew that my voice could never give it what it needed… So I turned it over to one Sister Savage… And she did nothing less than make it perfect.

THE DREAMING

Oh the places I’ve been
Oh the faces I’ve seen
Not a cloud in the sky
And the grass is so green
I stay up too late
Hoping I’ll find
Those faces again
In the back of my mind

My one reason for sleeping
Is the dreaming

Oh the places I’ve been
Standing in the sky
Or jumping waves
It’s the reason why
I stay up too late
It’s the only way
To send my mind
Back to those days

My one reason for sleeping
Is the dreaming

Oh the places I’ve been
Tonight I hope to go
Back there again
To the faces I know
I stay up so late
Hoping I’ll find
Those faces again
From the back of my mind

Where I don’t need redeeming
My one reason for sleeping
Is the dreaming

Very nice work!! Tess- if that's a demo vocal it sound pretty damn good to me. Keith- really nice arrangement on the song, nice strum pattern and some nice soft chords. Also dig the little backup vocals.
