Dreaming Of 4000 Lyrics - The Studio Albums: 1973-1977 - Electric Light Orchestra

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
