Chorus lyrics

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 bring.

Go 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 hands.

And they covered up the sun

until the birds had flown away

and the fishes in the sea

had gone to sleep.

And they covered up the sun

until the birds had flown away

and the fishes in the sea

had gone to sleep.

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 bring.

Go 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 hands.

(One, two, three)

And they covered up the sun

until the birds had flown away

and the fishes in the sea

had gone to sleep.

And they covered up the sun

until the birds had flown away

and the fishes in the sea

had gone to sleep.

Holy Moses, our hearts are screaming,

souls are lifting, only dreaming.

We'll be waiting, some are praying,

for a time when no one's cheating.

The sunlight rising over the horizon

just a distant memory, the dawn chorus,

(the dawn chorus)

birds singing, bells ringing

in our hearts, in our minds.

And they covered up the sun

until the birds had flown away

and the fishes in the sea

had gone to sleep.

And they covered up the sun

until the birds had flown away

and the fishes in the sea

had gone to sleep.

And they covered up the sun

until the birds had flown away

and the fishes in the sea

had gone to sleep.
