about

George Winston's wonderful piano in weaving conversation with Barry Phillips' cello and English horn, and, of course, ... the Slugs!

lyrics

WINGS OF SLUMBER by S. Van Zandt


Chorus:
A dream is a story a dream is a song
Ride along on this journey of wonder
Flying through the night into the breaking of the dawn
As we spread these wings of slumber

Rocking in our boat it’s a lazy breeze while the dolphins jump and play
Look across the sea to the coconut trees swaying in an emerald bay
Rainbow fish on the green coral reef flap their fins and point the way
As we sail through the waves and land upon the shore, here in the isle of Day
Chorus….

On the soft warm sand our bare feet run down the dunes we jump and slide
With a whistle and a shout our ponies come to take us for a ride
We race with the wind across the beach while the sea birds rise and glide
Golden sand and a golden mane in the white spray ocean tide

Chorus….

Now a treasure chest buried on the beach holds a magic pearl
Sleep is the key to unlock that box and let your dreams unfurl
Sing to the moon and dance with a star, with the wind we sway and swirl
In the moment of a breath and a blink of the eye we can travel ‘round the world

Chorus….
