Christy Moore - John O'Dreams lyrics
[Christy Moore - John O'Dreams lyrics]
Homeward tread
Seek out your blanket and your
Feathered bed home comes the
Rover, his journey's over
Yield up the night time to old
John O 'Dreams
Across the hill the sun has gone astray
Tomorrows cares are many dreams away
The stars are flying, your candle's dying
Yield up the night time to oldJohn O'Dreams
Both man and master in the night are one
All things are equal when the day is done
The prince and the ploughman
The slave the free man
All find their comfort in old John O'Dreams
All find their comfort in old John O'Dreams
When sleep it comes the
Dreams come running clear
The hawks of morning cannot reach you here
Sleep is a river, flow on for ever
And for your boatman choose old John O'Dreams
Yes for your boatman choose old John O'Dreams
