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
Now I m chasing broken down dreams one that seem so far
Surrounded by preachers, cigarettes and tattoos that bare my scares
Fools on every corner life's playing its cruel game
With a bottle in my hand I m trying to forget my shame
But the sadness in my eyes can't hide the pain inside
But I am screaming out to Heaven Lord its hard to take this ride
Please help me Lord, I'm begging on my knees
Even whiskey can't wash away this deep root of unease
I ve traveled this rough road full of heart ache and lies
With a simple Prayer I m reaching for the sky
I ve watched my dreams fade Like smoke in the night
This old mans journey feels like an endless fight
I pour another shot wishing for a little grace
But these shattered feelings linger and never leave a trace
It's been a life of constant hell what more can I endure
I hold on to that hope, but my heart is feeling pure
Please help me Lord, I'm begging on my knees
Even whiskey can't wash away this deep root of unease
I ve traveled this rough road full of heart ache and lies
With a simple Prayer I'm reaching for the sky
I scream like hell to the heavens above
In search of your mercy and the warmth of your love
This old man's life has twisted in the dark
But I hold on to the light still searching for a spark
Please don't forget me Lord, I need you to see me through
My tears are many, but my hopes are feeling few
For every moment passes feels like another chance to mend
With your guidance Lord I'll find love around me again
So I'll raise my glass high though the night feels long
With my heart in the open tryin to find where I belong
Please help me Lord, I'm begging on my knees
Even whiskey can't wash away this deep root of unease
I ve traveled this rough road full of heart ache and lies
With a simple Prayer I'm reaching for the sky
So here's to the broken dreams and the path that filled my shoes
With a shot of whiskey and some love, what more can I lose
I'm a traveler on this road looking for my way back home
In the mist of scattered dreams Ill never be alone
