The recurring theme of disconnection and the ethereal quality of his nighttime wanderings highlight the tension between his subconscious escapism and his conscious commitment. The song poignantly captures the struggle of maintaining a sense of self and connection in the face of dream-induced separation.

Lyrics

In my dreams, I wander far from you

Where I no longer hold your hand

Lost in landscapes, where I'm just a passing man

In my night time stories, I wear a thousand faces

A brother, a friend, lost in different places

A golden touch, or just phantom traces

I'm a moonlit drifter, shadows in my eyes

A dusty trail under moonlit skies

In my sleep, I'm not your lover anymore

If you watch me dreaming, you'll see me roam

In a world so distant, it's no longer home

Your voice, a whisper, a faint echo in the night

I'm a moonlit drifter, shadows in my eyes

Oh do do do do

Oh do do do do

Oh do do do do

When daylight breaks, I'm yours, I stay

By your side, I'll find my way

But in my dreams, I drift away

I'm a moonlit drifter, trace away

In my dreams, I wander far from you

Where I no longer hold your hand

Lost in landscapes, where I'm just a passing man

In my night-time stories, I wear a thousand faces

A brother, a friend, lost in different places

A golden touch

I'm a moonlit drifter, shadows in my eyes

Oh do do do do

Oh do do do do

Oh do do do do
