Border Patrol

1. Everybody’s running the border
   Everybody’s getting away
   Whenever their dreams take them
   Riding the starry way
   And everybody knows the answers
   Daylight turns away
   Whenever they’re riding the starry way
   And everybody knows the answers
   Daylight turns away
   Whenever they’re riding the starry way

2. Even a bank president
   Has got to get his zees
   Anxiety dreams of frozen schemes
   And lost safety deposit keys
   And though he may believe
   It’s just his mind at play
   He’s been out there riding the starry way
   And though he may believe
   It’s just his mind at play
   He’s been out there riding the starry way

And though sometimes the daylight seems
To be driving your dreams away
Blowing in like a desert wind
And just driving your dreams away
And though sometimes the daylight seems
To be hiding your dreams away
They will always find you again
Out riding the starry way…

3. They don’t come true, they are what’s true
   And they will not betray you
   You can’t ignore the open door
   It’s there till the break of day
   Dreams will call, the walls will fall
   And without further delay
   You’ll find yourself riding the starry way
   Deep in the dark of night
   Imagination will have it’s day
   And take you out riding the starry way

4. Everybody’s running the border
   Everybody’s getting away
   Whenever their dreams take them
   Riding the starry way
   And everybody knows the answers
   Daylight turns away
   Whenever they’re riding the starry way
   Deep in the dark of night
   Imagination will have it’s day
   And take you out riding the starry way

Our life is twofold; Sleep hath its own world,
A boundary between the things misnamed
Death and existence: Sleep hath its own world,
And a wide realm of wild reality…

                           Byron, "The Dream"
