Sleepwalking Lyrics - Sparks Of Ancient Light - Al Stewart

The stranger comes to town 

He is greeted like a prince 

Society declares him wise and funny 

Celebrities are only decorations in this place 

What really matters here is old money 

His temporary lover has amber coloured skin 

In a lush apartment in the city center 

Bankers like his company 

They always let him in 

There is no door to tell him do not enter 

They're following a dream 

Following a dream 

Sleepwalking 

A boy has become a member of a most desired club 

He has a fine address in these sixties 

If hipness could be diagrammed he would be the hub 

Girls follow him round like sexy pixies 

There's talk among the money men in Miami beach 

The train is leaving 

You don't want to miss it 

Whatever it is he's offering it's there within your reach 

So here is the ring 

Why don't you kiss it 

They're following a dream 

Following a dream 

Sleepwalking 

But there's a country house a world away from here 

Where accusations fill the room today 

Something has gone missing and it's absolutely clear 

A servent left quite suddenly 

He didn't ask for money 

He just packed up and left quietly away 

Back inside the nouveau world 

The rich are sitting down 

They realize it's time for some assessments 

Their charasmatic friend is somehow no where to be found 

Along with beggered will and their investments 

Someone said they saw him on a plane to Salvador or Moscow 

Now the weather's warming 

The lure of easy money keeps him constantly employed 

It's a social service he's performing 

Following a dream 

Following a dream 

Sleepwalking 

They're following a dream 

Willingly it seems 

Sleepwalking
