Hit The Road To Dreamland
Adam Faith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time to hit the road to dreamland
You're my baby
Dig you in the land of nod
Hold tight baby
All night baby
Where the little cherubs trot
Look at that knocked out moon
Been a-blowing his top in the blue
Never saw the likes of you
Bye bye baby
Time to hit the road to dreamland
Don't cry baby
It was divine but the rooster has finally crowed
Time to hit the road
Bye bye baby
Bye bye baby
Well it was divine but the cuckoo has finally crowed
Time to hit the road Time to hit the road
Time to hit the road.
The lyrics of Adam Faith's Hit the Road to Dreamland depict the moment of saying goodbye to a loved one before heading off to sleep. The singer is gently reassuring their partner that they will be together in the realm of dreams, where the little cherubs - or angels - trot. The song encourages the listener to relax and let go of the day's worries, as they slowly fall asleep together. The imagery of the moon blowing its top and the singer never seeing the likes of the person they are singing to highlights the dreamy, ethereal nature of the song as the two lovers drift off into a shared sleep space. The final lines, "It was divine but the rooster has finally crowed/Time to hit the road," is a gentle reminder that the night is over and it's time to wake up and face the day.

Bye bye baby
Farewell, my dear
Time to hit the road to dreamland
It is time for us to go to sleep
You're my baby
You are my significant other
Dig you in the land of nod
Let's fall asleep deeply
Hold tight baby
Stay close to me
We'll be swinging up in dreamland
We will have a great time sleeping
All night baby
We will sleep for the entire night
Where the little cherubs trot
In the place where angels roam
Look at that knocked out moon
Observe the sleep-deprived moon
Been a-blowing his top in the blue
It has been doing its job all night long
Never saw the likes of you
Never seen someone like you before
Don't cry baby
Do not weep, my dear
It was divine but the rooster has finally crowed
We had a great time, but it is time to wake up now
Well it was divine but the cuckoo has finally crowed
It was amazing but the time to wake up has arrived
Time to hit the road Time to hit the road
We have to leave now
Time to hit the road.
It's time to go
