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




All the hurt felt like a heavy chain,
Couldn't see the sunshine, just the pouring rain.
Every tear I've shed, every night I've cried,
Wishing for a way out, wishing I could hide.

Searching for a path for those lost in despair,
Prayers for the weary, for every woman and man.

Through these hellish journeys, carved deep in my skin,
Memories of pain echoing within.
Storms that raged inside me, but the sunshine still reigns,
I keep holding on, through all the pouring rain.

In the shadows where he fights his fears,
Hope yet sadness brings a river of tears.
Dreams of brighter days slipping through my hands,
Where every heartbreak fades as my spirit stands.

Wondering if the light will ever break through,
Longing for a moment where I feel renewed.

Through these hellish journeys, carved deep in my skin,
Memories of pain echoing within.
Storms that raged inside me, but the sunshine still reigns,
I keep holding on, through all the pouring rain.

A simple way of saying goodbye,
Just one last breath and close your eyes.
Lord, bring me home, let me find the grace,
To see the beauty of the other side, a warm embrace.

For it is time to come home, where the heart beats free,
A place filled with love, Lord, where I long to be.
Joyous once again, as the memories unwind,
Greeted by loved ones, leaving the pain behind.

Through these hellish journeys, carved deep in my skin,
Memories of pain echoing within.
Storms that raged inside me, but the sunshine still reigns,
I keep holding on, through all the pouring rain.

So guide me through the darkness, let the light pour in,
In this journey back home, where my soul can begin.
No more chains of sorrow, just sweet melodies,
Finding peace in the love that forever frees me.
