Lyrics Electric Light Orchestra

Electric Light Orchestra

Dreaming Of 4000

Saviour of the night came

Slowly on the silent river

And the lord of life came following

His sins to be forgiven

While the world sat back

And laughed away the hours

'Til the dawning of the daybreak

I heard them laugh, I heard them cry

I saw them praying to the sky

I've heard the wind howl in the trees

Down there on bended knee

And I see the light

But I know I must be dreaming

Feel the soul, quiet an emotion

Sail on by, helpless devotion

If that's how it feels

It better be real

Take care of your woman

Or you'll never ever see the light

Take heed of the warning

Or you know, it's gonna be too late

Too late, too late, too late

Too late, too late

Here, there, everywhere

They keep on moving without fear

They look me up, they look me down

They press my body to the ground

But I see the light

See the light, it's coming shining

And on a summer's day

When thoughts are drifting far away

And life is good and real to see

My world is saved and I am free

But in the night

Still I know I must be dreaming

Feel the soul, quiet emotion

Sail on by, helpless devotion

If that's how it feels

It better be real

Take care of your woman

Or you'll never ever see the light

Take heed of the warning

Or you know, it's gonna be too late

Too late, too late, too late, too late

Too late, too late, too late, too late
