Song lyrics
In the middle of the night(middle of the night) 
I go walking in my sleep(i go walking in my sleep) 
From the mountains of faith(moutains of faith) 
To the river so deep(river so deep) 
I must be looking for something(looking for something) 
Something sacred I lost(sacred i lo-o-ost) 
But the river is wide(river is wide) 
And it's too hard to cross(too hard to cross) 

Even though I know the river is wide 
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore 
I try to cross to the opposite side 
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for 

In the middle of the night(middle of the night) 
I go walking in my sleep(i go walking in my sleep) 
Through the valley of fear(valley of fear) 
To a river so deep(river so deep) 
I've been searching for something(searching for something) 
Taken out of my soul(taken out of my so-o-oul) 
Something I'd never lose(never lose) 
Something somebody stole(something somebody stole) 

I don't know why I go walking at night 
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore 
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life 
Until I find what it is that I've been looking for 

In the middle of the night(middle of the night) 
I go walking in my sleep(I go walking in my sleep) 
Through the jungle of doubt(jungle of doubt) 
To the river so deep(river so deep) 
I know I'm searching for something(searching for something) 
Something so undefined(so undefined) 
That it can only be seen(only be seen) 
By the eyes of the blind 
In the middle of the night 

I'm not sure about a life after this 
God knows I've never been a spiritual man 
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river 
That is running to the promise land 

In the middle of the night(middle of the night) 
I go walking in my sleep(i go walking in my sleep) 
Through the desert of truth(desert of truth) 
To the river so deep(river so deep) 
We all end in the ocean(end in the ocean) 
We all start in the streams(start in the streams) 
We're all carried along(carried along) 
By the river of dreams(river of dreams) 
In the middle of the night 

(repeat: I go walking in the middle of the...)

when i was really young this was my favorite song. for some reason i thought it was about a man who dropped his wedding ring in a river and was trying to find it.

This isn't my favorite Billy Joel song as he's done alot better. But it's okay I guess.
