lyrics

When the blues of the nighttime call
All of your nightmares fade into the dawn
You wish for your mother to come into your room
But she won't be there, so daydream away

When the blues of the nighttime call
Dreams of your lovers tug at your heart
You wish to go back there, to start it all anew
But you can't do that, so daydream away

If only I could be there
On the day when she was born
If only I could be there
Give her shelter from the storm

When the blues of the nighttime call
All of your nightmares take hold
You wish you can be there, in your childhood room
But you're the big man now, so daydream away
