Lyrics and translation
Original
Floating near my bed, sheets are soaking wet. Hot night, hot night.
I wake up in a sweat, did not get any rest. Sunrise, sunrise.
Maneuver through my dreams, all the sagas that I've seen.
I've lived a hundred lives and now I'm haggard as can be.
I wish for once in my life, I can escape a restless night.
Maybe tonight, tonight.
My dreams, they know. They follow me wherever I may go.
They stay with me to guide me through the night. Where do they go when I'm wide awake?
And all they need to show is my stairway to the red sky!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
Red sky. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
Every waking hour I try to find the inner power to walk with grace, with grace.
If dreams have all the answers, why the hell can't I remember a name or a face?
I follow all the rules, but end up feeling like a fool.
Too young, too old, too shy, too bold, no clue what to do.
I wish for once in my life, I can afford a peaceful night. Maybe tonight, tonight.
My dreams, they know. They follow me wherever I may go.
They stay with me to guide me through the night. Where do they go when I'm wide awake?
And all they need to show is my stairway to the red sky!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
I watch the starry night and pray one day I'll fly one million miles towards the light, our home tonight.
My dreams, they know. They follow me wherever I may go.
They stay with me to guide me through the night. Where do they go when I'm wide awake?
And all they need to show is my stairway to the red sky. My dreams, they know.
They follow me wherever I may go. They stay with me to guide me through the night.
Where do they go when I'm wide awake?
And all they need to show is my stairway to the red sky!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
