When midnight comes, good people, homeward tread
Seek now your blankets and your feather bed
Home is the rover, his journey's over
Yield up the nighttime to old John of Dreams
Yield up the nighttime to old John of Dreams
Across the hills the sun has gone astray
Tomorrow's cares are many dreams away
The stars are flying, your candle's dying
Yield up the nighttime to old John of Dreams
Yield up the nightime to old John o' Dreams
Both man and master in the night are one
All things are equal when the day is done
The prince and the ploughman, the slave and the freeman
All find their comfort in old John of Dreams
All find their comfort in old John o' Dreams
When sleep it comes and dreams come running clear
The hawks of morning cannot reach you here
Sleep is a river, flow on forever
And for your boatman choose old John of Dreams
And for your boatman choose old John of Dreams
