Текст (слова) песни: Barenaked Ladies - When You Dream

 
With life just begun 
My sleeping new son 
Has eyes that roll back in his head 
They flutter and dart 
He slows down his heart 
And pictures a world past his bed 
 
It’s hard to believe 
As I watch you breathe 
Your mind drifts and weaves 
 
When you dream 
What do you dream about 
 
When you dream 
What do you dream about 
 
Do you dream about music 
Or mathematics 
Or planets too far for the eye? 
 
Do you dream about Jesus 
Or quantum mechanics 
Or angels who sing lullabyes? 
 
His fontanelle pulses 
With lives that he’s lived 
With memories he’ll learn to ignore 
And when it is closed 
He already knows 
He’s forgotten all he knew before 
 
But when sleep sets in 
History begins 
But the future will win 
 
When you dream 
What do you dream about? 
 
When you dream 
What do you dream about? 
 
Are they colored or black and white 
Yiddish or English or languages not yet conceived? 
Are they silent or boisterous? 
Do you hear noises 
Just loud enough to be perceived? 
 
Do you hear Del Shannons "Runaway" 
Playing on transistor radio waves? 
With so little experience 
You might not get cognicent 
Are you wise beyond your few days? 
 
When you dream 
What do you dream about? 
(REPEAT CHORUS)
