The Waterboys

The Waterboys are a band formed in 1983 by Mike Scott. The band's membership, past and present, has been composed mainly of musicians from Scotland, Ireland and England. Edinburgh, London, Dublin, Spiddal, New York, and Findhorn have all served as homes for the group. The band has played in a number of different styles, but their music is a mix of Celtic folk music with rock and roll. After ten years of recording and touring, they dissolved in 1993 and Scott pursued a solo career. They reformed in 2000, and continue to release albums and tour worldwide.

Ever since I was a child 
I have been able to fly in my dreams
Ever since I was a child 
I have been able to fly in my dreams

Yet oftentimes I find myself 
on a rollercoaster, not in control
or on a busy street, naked
or playing a concert with no equipment
or making a record with no songs

In almost every dream is a magical bookstore
In others an artistic village, set apart
or a large house with secret attic 
filled with my tapes and papers,
in the corner a wardrobe of childhood treasures
Sometimes I step on a bus and notice I'm barefoot
step off again to find myself 
in Venice meets San Francisco

Musicians populate my dreams
my band members old and new
certain Rolling Stones
Ian MacDonald from King Crimson 
David Bowie showing me round Dryden Chambers 

Thighpaulsandra, Sly Stone
Amy Winehouse still alive
Vivian Stanshall punning in a cafe
and imaginary musicians: 
a singer named Imperfecto, Sonic Dave
The Amazing Brothers
Alec Finn starblown like a young Bolan
Iggy Pop, an old sly dragon

Over time I trained myself 
to always write down my dreams 
before stepping out of bed 
and if I start to forget, 
lay my head once more on the pillow 
and it all comes flooding back
It all comes flooding back 

Last night I dreamed and all the same characters 
all the same scenes were there
and my young self broke through 
and made all my choices

Ever since I was a child 
I have been able to fly in my dreams
