G G
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
C D
from the mountains of faith to a river so deep
G G
I must be looking for something something sacred I lost
C D
But the river is wide and it's too hard to cross
Em D
And even thought I knew the river is wide
C Am
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
Em D
And try to cross to the opposite side
Am D
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for
G G
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
C D
Through the valley of fear to a river so deep
G G
And I've been searching for something taken away of my soul
C D
Something I would never lose something somebody stole
Em D
I don't know why I go walking at night
C Am
But now I'm tired and I don't walk anymore
Em D
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Am D
Until I find what it is I've been looking for
G G
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
C D
Through the jungle of doubt to a river so deep
G G
I know I'm searching for something something so undefined
C D
That it only can be seen by the eyes of a blind
G
In the middle of the night
Em D
I'm not sure about life after this
C Am
god knows I've never been a spiritual man
Em Am
Babtized by the fire, I wade into the river
Am D
That turns to be the promised land
G G
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
C D
Through the desert of truth to a river so deep
G G
We're all land in the ocean we all start in the streams
C D
We're all carried along by the river of dreams
G
In the middle of the night
