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, lost in the fight,
Blamed by so many, in the shadows of night.
Friends are a few, they're hard to find,
All alone with the voices, they're haunting my mind.

Tried so hard to walk this path of grace,
But forgiveness is fleeting, I'm just stuck in this place.
Who am I to judge, when the mirror shows me,
The faults and the failures that no one can see.

I'm hanging on for dear life, these eyes have seen better days,
Tired of strangers' pats on the back, telling me it's okay.
Just a fool in my world of foolishness, for everyone to see,
Crushed by a spirit that has given up, it's no longer free.

Shaking like a storm, scared like a little child,
Confused for a lifetime, my thoughts running wild.
Between moments of Hell, haunted by my fears,
I'm praying like a madman, with my Bible and a beer.
If I make it through today, maybe I'll find a brand new start,
But the pain weighs heavy, it's tearing at my heart.

I'm hanging on for dear life, these eyes have seen better days,
Tired of strangers' pats on the back, telling me it's okay.
Just a fool in my world of foolishness, for everyone to see,
Crushed by a spirit that has given up, it's no longer free.

But life keeps on going, even when it's rough,
I'll sing my sad song, 'cause that's just tough love.
Every bruise and battle brings me closer to light,
As I fight through the darkness, I'm ready for the fight.

Humbled by my journey, I've learned to forgive,
Though the past tries to haunt me, I'm learning to live.
With each new dawn, I'm gathering my strength,
Knowing that tomorrow, I'll go to any length.
So I'll raise my glass high, to the battles I've won,
With my Bible and a beer, I'll face the morning sun.

I'm hanging on for dear life, these eyes have seen better days,
Tired of strangers' pats on the back, telling me it's okay.
Just a fool in my world of foolishness, for everyone to see,
Crushed by a spirit that has given up, it's no longer free.

So here's to the struggle, and all the pain I feel,
I'm finding my way back, and learning to heal.
Between moments of Hell and a lifetime of fears,
I'll keep praying like a madman, with my Bible and a beer.
