Lyrics:

Passenger – Let Me Dream A While

well when the lights hang low
and I lay down and close my eyes
I see colours and spinning wheels
I hear a language I don't understand

I see people I've not seen for years
I hold a magic in my hands
I sing songs that I never write
'cause they're gone by the morning light

yes and I dream away
and I was free as the summer sky
I swim in oceans turquoise and deep
I lay down in field of gold

I see mountains snow white and steep
though I never feel the cold
I can't stay there try I might
'cause it's gone by the morning light

so if you find that I'm sleeping
soft and warm as a child
would you just let me be for a moment happy and free
would you please let me dream a while

yeah when the night draws in
and I lay down to rest my head
I find boxes and photographs
and old movies I saw long ago
I can still hear my sister laugh
on the beaches in Mexico

where the phosphorescence shines 'neath the moon
and a thousand stars that glow
but they always fade out so soon
to a place where I just can't go
though I hold on to 'em so tight
they are gone by the morning light

so if you find that I'm sleeping
soft and warm as a child
won't you just let me be for a moment happy and free
oh won't you please let me dream a while
oh won't you please let me dream a while

Well, when lights hang low
And I lay down and close my eyes
I see colours and spinning wheels
I hear a language I don't understand
I see people I've not seen for years
I hold a magic in my hands
I sing songs that I never write
‘Cause they’re gone by the morning light

Yes and I dream away
And I’m as free as the summer sky
I swim in oceans turquoise and deep
I lay down in fields of gold
I see mountains, snow white and steep
Though I will never feel the cold
I can’t stay there try as I might
‘Cause it’s gone by the morning light

So if you find that I’m sleeping
Soft and warm as a child
Well just let me be
For a moment happy and free
Oh won’t you please let me dream a while

Yeah, when the night draws in
And I lay down to rest my head

Where the phosphorescence shines 'neath the moon
And a thousand stars that glow
But they always fade out so soon
To a place where I just can’t go
Though I hold on to them so tight
They are gone by the morning light

So if you find that I’m sleeping
Soft and warm as a child
Would you just let me be
For a moment happy and free
Oh won’t you please let me dream a while
Oh won’t you please let me dream a while

Welcome to Hong Kong, Mr. Passenger!!
I'd love to call this song as well as the music video an art! What a fabulous job of reflecting my home town, Hong Kong is definitely a beautiful city once you discover it inside out.
Thank you Passenger.

I closed my eyes and listened to this and it transported me to a beach at night, campfire glowing, as I sit wrapped in a cosy blanket. I'm laughing and smiling at my loved ones for a while and then we push these little boats out to sea, nothing in them at all. We all stand on the shore with the campfire slowly burning down in the background and watch them float away, silently and beautifully, into the deep night.

It's insane to me that you're constantly putting out music like this, even after your newest album just came out like what, 4 months ago? It's incredible Michael, thank you.

[winstonsmith]

He's like a modern Bob Dylan. This is lovely.

wow so beautiful...excellent work mike and jarrad ❤️👍

[chickitos]

Wow Wow Wow. Not only your songs are so peaceful and breath taking, you are too. No fancy, no luxury no glimpse and glamour. That how the world should be

[lucykortsmusic]

You have a way of joining thousands of strangers together, connecting them, and creating this huge and untouchable love through your lyrics and voice. Thank you for sharing this with all of us Mike. x

[zehsur]

Mike really gets to me. He makes me feel feelings that I haven't felt in an unhealthy amount of time. I love this..

[lunadebruin]

It is so wonderful how you can make every song your style but not the same. I like your style. You are YOU. And that is what YOU makes YOU beautiful.

[karlmullner]

So much difference between this and more popular music

[williamruss]

I just love the guitar playing throughout the song. Emotional and beautiful song.

[phreddcatt]

Beautiful. Comforting. Goes right to the soul. Thank You.

[valeriewalsh]
