Cover art for The River Of Dreams lyrics by Billy Joel

Wow, the name of the site should be randompraiseofartists.net instead of songmeanings.net. doesn't anyone give any kind of insight into song meanings here. every time i look at the comments its always "YEA I LOVE THIS BAND/THIS ARTIST...THEY ARE SOOOO GOOD AND COOL... YEA THEY ROCK MY SOCKS. damn, americas going down the drain fast.

this song is, from my understanding, about a family member who was doing some kind of money management for billy and stole from him. the something that was stole was trust. ironicly this song was a lullaby for me when i was younger.
