This woman came to me upon this lonely night
A woman dresses in vestal white and red
She said "Your life is but a fleeting dream you know
Filled with the color of the living dead"
Upon these dreams there lies a riverbed
Upon these dreams of gold
Upon these dreams there lies a riverbed
Upon these dreams of gold
She laid me down upon a bloodied blade of grass
She said "Your mind is a burning cauldron son
Lay back relax, let me show you what I know
Answer all those questions of your lustful soul."
Upon these dreams there lies a riverbed
Upon these dreams of gold
Upon these dreams there lies a riverbed
Upon these dreams of gold
She says "I know you've been so lonely all your life
and that is why I'm here to take you home tonight
I know the last note that you sing is always first
I know your last note it is the best."
Upon these dreams there lies a riverbed
Upon these dreams of gold
Upon these dreams there lies a riverbed
Upon these dreams of gold
Upon these dreams there lies a riverbed
Upon these dreams of gold
Upon these dreams there lies a riverbed
Upon these dreams of gold
Let me take you home tonight my darling in the dream
Let me take you home tonight upon this lonely dream
Let me take you home tonight upon this lonely dream
