Catalina's Milky Way Dreams(c) Re- Written 2024 - By The Depressed Poet, Doc Dalton
Shooting Stars and fast moving CarsRumble through the roads of my mindTick-e-ty Tock, the old sounds of the clockSay's it's almost a quarter past nine
The moons surely rising, the stars are a glidingAnd Mr. Sandman is ready to roamHurry off to bed and put your pillow under your headHe might just be visiting you tonight at homeDrifting off to sleep is such a wonderful featAdventures you'll enjoy on your ownMaking new friends on a journey to no endA secrete life that is yours all aloneDon't be afraid of those gobble lee goo'sOr those pirates drifting to sea on their boatsThere's no need to worry there just in your dreamsLike rainbow clouds and cotton candy floatsOh that sky's full of colors of make believe wondersExciting every step of the wayCan't you let me stay for just a little bit longerPlease, don't take my Dreams a wayTo see this through a child's eyesOn the path to where stars brightly beamThrough a different world of twist and twirlsWon't you come to my Milky Way DreamsWe could have so much funUnder an ice cream sun and laugh our time awaySing some M & M songs the whole day longUntil we awake to brand new day
Pluto say's hey kiddo don't get out of bedAs Snakel Puss laughs and says, ah it's OKKKKKKKKPopeye yell's, were gone in a minute after I eat me spinachPoo say's all aboard my Banana Split SleighOh that Sky's full of colors of make believe wondersExciting every step of the wayCan't you let me stay for just a little bit longerWorry not Catalina, we won't take your Dreams a way
To see this through a child's eyesOn the path to where stars brightly beamThrough a different world of twist and twirlsWon't you come to my Milky Way Dreams
Catalina say's, please come join me, on my Milky Way Dreams

I've been dragged through the mud, feeling no one cares,
With shadows of doubt following me everywhere.
Screaming out your name, Jesus, through the pain,
With my whiskey in hand, it's like pouring rain.

These memories haunt me, play their cruel games,
I'm scared that I will fade away, lost in the flames.
Each tear tells a story, the hurt deep inside,
Yet the whiskey numbs the hurt, oh, how I tried.

Screaming out your name, with each desperate prayer,
Hoping you can hear me, that you'll always care.
Lost and so broken, don't know what to do,
I'm reaching out to heaven, just to feel you.

I can hear the wind whisper my name on its way,
As the stars above twinkle, like they want to stay.
Shattered by thoughts, my mind's been broken in two,
Haunted by the past and the love that I knew.

Lost like never before, deeper than the ocean,
This heart is heavy, weighed down by emotion.
I'm wearied from the fight, but still, I will stand,
Trusting in the promise that you'll lend a hand.

Screaming out your name, with each desperate prayer,
Hoping you can hear me, that you'll always care.
Lost and so broken, don't know what to do,
I'm reaching out to heaven, just to feel you.

Hangin' on by hope, can you see the light?
In the middle of my storm, I'm longing for your might.
Counting every blessing, though they're hard to find,
I'm pleading with my heart, don't leave me behind.

Listen to my pleas, hear my silent cries,
I'm desperate for your love, in this life, I realize.

Memories of laughter, now echo with pain,
But in my heart, I know there's so much to gain.
So I'll keep on praying with this whiskey in my hand,
Each sip a reminder of the promises that stand.

Drowning in my feelings, but I'm fighting to survive,
Lord, with you beside me, I know I'll stay alive.

Screaming out your name, with each desperate prayer,
Hoping you can hear me, that you'll always care.
Lost and so broken, don't know what to do,
I'm reaching out to heaven, just to feel you.

So with every breath, I'll give it all my might,
Jesus, you're my anchor in the black of night.
With whiskey and my prayers, I'll keep holding on tight,
Screaming out your name, I'll find my way to light.
