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




As I walk the floors of loneliness,
I hear the constant screams inside my head,
It's those who scream the loudest,
That have no words that can be said.

I stumble alone through the streets at night,
Holding tightly to all my fears,
It's the feeling there's no end in sight,
As there's no end to my countless tears.

Oh, the shadows keep on dancing,
In the corners of my heart,
Each whisper feels like a brand new scar,
Tearing me apart.

The battles I'm fighting, they play out in my mind,
It's those voices in my mind that I fear to find.

I cry alone in my darkest hours,
While hiding deep inside my bed,
Confused, tattered, and torn from all the craziness inside my head.
I shake like a frightened child, scared of what is next to be,
For it's those voices in my mind are whose faces I'm scared to see.

Oh the shadows keep on dancing,
In the corners of my heart,
Each whisper feels like a brand new scar,
Tearing me apart.
The battles I'm fighting, they play out in my mind,
It's those voices in my mind that I fear to find.


As I look back to all my yesterdays,
When the laughter never seemed to end,
But for now, it's just sadness and tears,
And a road that just won't seem to bend.

Another night is now upon me,
As the darkness settles in,
I wonder what did I do that was so damn wrong,
And all the could-have-beens.

Will the voices return once again,
And this time will they hear my pleas?
For it's those faces from my past,
That haunt me like a cruel disease.

As the moonlight shines through my window,
I hold on tight to every breath,
Searching for the hope that slips away,
As I walk the floors of loneliness.

Oh, the shadows keep on dancing,
In the corners of my heart,
Each whisper feels like a brand new scar,
Tearing me apart.
The battles I'm fighting, they play out in my mind,
It's those voices in my mind that I fear to find.

So I'll keep walking these lonely floors,
And facing my demons along the way,
But I'll stand strong through the darkest nights,
Just waiting for the light of day.
