about

Traditional pop rock, sounds a bit like Rod Stewart doing Sinatra, breathy vocals, dreamscape visions, upbeat, snappy rhythm, cool bridge and coda that takes the upbeat and pumps it up even more. Goes from the dark, misty mountainous of early dream state to hopeful awakening, sun shining through the blinds.

lyrics

Full moon glides along the ridge of mountains
Brush away the cobwebs and the dust
Waxing, waning, wandering as it’s counting
Measuring the moments left to rust

chorus:
Dreams fly by like sparks from burning embers
Painting darkness in a ghostly light
Start the new day yearning to remember
Pictures from the stories of the night

Clouds collecting, skies may soon be storming
Waves pile up and crash along the shore
In the mist a vision slowly forming
Flashes like the lightning through the door

chorus

bridge:
In my dreams we’re flying through the moonlight
New horizons constantly appear
Making wishes on the starlight star bright
If this is dreaming, I want to stay here
Maybe I should take some notes
So when I wake up I’ll still recall those
Pictures from the stories of the night
(Hidden in the stories of the night)

Heartbeats quicken, slowly wakes the morning
Sunlight comes in tumbling through the blinds
Coffee's steaming, memories reforming
Scenes from dreams come bouncing back to mind

chorus

Like Waikiki, I lost the individual files for this one, so there wasn't any way to change much, short of re-recording everything, which so far has not happened.
