Carl Douglas - Never Had This Dream Before Lyrics

in my time
i been a poet
an angel of mercy
that you won't forget
i was a boatman that people came to see
but in all of my travels
baby no ones' been what you've been to me
cuz i've never had this dream before
i was down
a heavy loser
walking in circles
looking for a shangrila
but when i met you my soul began to breathe
you gave me direction
i'll go anywhere you lead
cuz i've never had this dream before
close your eyes and go to sleep
you and i we're just a pile of sheep
