Dreamy Night Fade Away

A song of dreaming

Dreamy Night Fade Away

boogie woogie is on my mind

my toe tapping a thousand times

slapping snare and top hat crash

back to sleep dreamy night fade away

is it a festival of jazz marching by

raz-ma-taz New Orleans style

clarinet and trumpet and tuba blow

blind melon singing do-dah do-dah-day

Latin fever makes me thrash 

trying to remember the tricky steps

the cha-cha of the island girls

watching how the shapely hips sway

Spanish marimba mambo twist

taps clacking as the flamenco flies

big box acoustic cat gut strings

fingers twitching wanting to play

square dance cowgirls and dudes strut

thumbs in their pockets stomping boots

fiddles and steel race through my heart

gonna do it all do it all someday

roll over and change the world another day

dreamy night fade away once again

screaming guitars in triple tones

while my guitar gently sleeps away
