Lyrics

I’ve never awoken with a gift from the night
No song to scribble down at dawn’s first light
But it sure would save me a lot of time
If my muse would visit me in my sleeping mind

So while she gets her beauty sleep I’m fending for myself
I’m swimming away from sharks except I have no arms
Where are my arms?

She must know I’m a clumsy dreamer
She might think I’m not ready to receive her
‘Coz in my sleep I can hardly tie my own shoes
While I dream I can never do as I choose
She must know I’m a clumsy dreamer

When I was a boy I had the same dream night after night
I was on a windy mountain road riding my dad’s beach cruiser bike
With the sun on my face I was weaving to and fro
What’s that up ahead? A hard right turn better take it slow

But my brakes are out and I bust through the guardrail and launch down a grassy hill
My stomach’s in my mouth and I’m screaming but no sound is coming out
No sound is coming out

‘Coz she must know I’m a clumsy dreamer
She might think I’m not ready to receive her
‘Coz in my sleep I can hardly tie my own shoes
While I dream I can never do as I choose
She must know I’m a clumsy dreamer
She must know I’m a clumsy dreamer
She does know that I’m a clumsy dreamer
