-I dreamed about Ray Charles last night and he could see just fine...
I dreamed about Ray Charles last night.
And he could see just fine, you know.
I asked him for a lullaby. He said,
"Honey, I don´t sing no more."
No more, no more, no more, Ray don´t sing no more.
He said, "Since I got my eyesight back, my voice has just deserted me.
No ´Georgia On My Mind´ no more. I stay in bed with M.T.V."
Then Ray took his glasses off and I could look inside his head.
Flashing like a thunderstorm, I saw a shining spider web.
Spider web, spider web, spider web in Ray Charles´ head.
I dreamed about Ray Charles last night.
He took me flying in the air. Showed me my own spider web; Said,
"Honey, you had best take care. The world is made of spider webs.
the threads are stuck to me and you. Careful what you´re wishing for,
´cause when you gain, you just might lose."
You just might lose your spider web, spider web, spider web Ray Charles said.
When you´re feeling lonely, when you´re hiding in your bed,
don´t forget your string of pearls, don´t forget your spider web.
When I go to sleep tonight, don´t let me dream of brother Ray.
Don´t get me wrong, I´m glad he sees.
Just like him best the other way.
Spider web, spider web, spider web Ray Charles said.
Spider web, spider web, spider web Ray Charles´ head.
All I got´s my spider web, keepin´ me alive.
All I got´s my spider web, keepin´ me alive.
- come on Ray...
