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
The journey was a long one, full of winding roads,
Never knowing where it might lead, where it unfolds.
A path to find myself, one I could never see,
Just shadows of the choices and who I thought I'd be.
With the silence so loud, echoing in my head,
A symphony of heartache, while I lay here in my bed.
No one knocking at my door, no sweet voice on the phone,
Just the ghosts of memories, so I cry here all alone.
With the quiet so loud, it plays within my mind,
Not a word's spoken, just shadows of the time.
I'm lost in the silence, feeling all the pain,
In this room of heartbreak, where nothing feels the same.
Sorry that I can't seem to get my thoughts out clear,
Sorry for the man who lost himself in fear.
Sorry that the mind's confusion makes me weary and frail,
Sorry that in all this darkness, it feels like I will fail.
Each thought is a reminder of the road that I once took,
A journey without answers, erased from every book.
I reach for the light, but it fades like a distant star,
Just praying for direction, wondering where you are.
With the quiet so loud, it plays within my mind,
Not a word's spoken, just shadows of the time.
I'm lost in the silence, feeling all the pain,
In this room of heartbreak, where nothing feels the same.
For where it might end is a place I cannot choose,
Oh dear Lord, hear my plea, let not my heart abuse.
Wrap me in your mercy, let me find some peace,
In this tangled mess of thoughts, grant me sweet release.
There's nothing left to do; I'm weary to the bone,
So, I'll sit here and cry, in this silence I own.
Scared and trembling like a child, I'll just sit here and weep,
Holding on to hope that one day I can sleep.
Facing every shadow that looms in the dark,
Yearning for redemption, waiting for a spark.
Cry all alone, in this stillness, I remain,
Searching for a way, to break free from the pain.
