Street Of Dreams
Blackmore's Night feat. Joe Lynn Turner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I heard the sound of voices in the night
Spellbound, there was someone calling
I looked around, no one was in sight
Pulled down, I just kept on falling
I've seen this place before
You were standing by my side
I've seen your face before tonight
Maybe I just see what I want it to be
I know it's a mystery
Do you remember me on a street of dreams?
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams

There you stood, a distant memory
So good, like we never parted
Said to myself, "I knew you'd set me free."
And here we are right back where we started
Soemthing's come over me
And I don't know what to feel
Maybe this fantasy is real
Now I know I see what I want it to be
But it's still a mystery

Do you remember me on the street of dreams?
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams
You are on every face I see
On the street of dreams

Tell me, have you always been
On the street of dreams?
Will we ever meet again, my friend?
Do you know just what it meant to be
On the street of dreams?
Never know just who you'll see, do ya
On the street of dreams
You can be who you want to be, oh yeah
I can hear you calling me




I can feel you haunting me
Haunting me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Street Of Dreams tell the story of a person who hears someone calling out to them and feeling spellbound, they find themselves falling. They have a sense of familiarity with the place and feel as if they have seen the person before, standing by their side. As they run through their memories, they see the face of this person on every face they encounter on the street of dreams. They wonder if this is just a fantasy or if it is a real mystery. The song is sung by Joe Lynn Turner, who delivers his vocals with passion and conviction.


The song's chorus is catchy and easy to sing along with, making it a favorite among fans of the band. It speaks of the power of memories and the way they haunt us long after they have faded away. The music is melodic and haunting, with a mix of acoustic guitar and ethereal vocals that perfectly capture the mood of the lyrics. Street of Dreams is a perfect example of Blackmore's Night's unique brand of music that combines Renaissance-inspired folk with rock and roll.
