Every so often my friend, Christiane Spruit, will take a break from singing with her band, Blue Attitude (
https://www.blue-attitude.net/ ), to sit at her piano.
Sometimes when that happens I get the great pleasure of working with her to flesh out a song.
A Dream Within A Dreamhttps://soundcloud.com/scaperandspruit/a-dream-within-a-dreamI can see you smiling
Even though you're not quite there
You are like a child in your persistence
With innocence sublime
All of this mystery is beguiling
Even as you rise into the air
I can see for miles in to the distance
With the way you shine
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
This is a dream within a dream
Listen
Can you hear the rain
Listen once again
It sounds like
And wishing
Doesn't change the dream
Where things aren't what they seem to be
And the night goes on and on and on and on
Yes I can see you smiling
And it doesn't seem quite fair
That I have been reviled for my resistance
Never will I change my mind
Here in this dream we just keep trying
And suddenly we're flying in the air
We are dialing in the distance
As we step right out of time
This is a dream within a dream
