     Across the hills the sun it has gone astray
     tomorrows cares are many dreams away
     the stars are flying
     your candle's dying
     yield up the darkness to old John O' Dreams
     yield up the darkness to old John O' Dreams

     Both man and master in the night they're one
     all things are equal when the day is done
     the prince the plowman
     the slave the freeman
     all find their comfort in old John O' Dreams
     all find their comfort in old John O' Dreams

     When sleep it comes and dreams come running clear
     the hawks of morning can not reach you here
     sleep is a river
     flows down forever
     and for your boatman choose old John O' Dreams
     and for your boatman choose old John O' Dreams
