I can see that link, webmasterdee. Jeff does an A to A rhyme then a meandering followup that doesn't rhyme. Likewise 2 quick lines followed by a rambling lead-in to "across the universe". Stylistically similar in pace too.

Meaning wise, it's certainly about dreams elevating a poor soul from the mundane world, but also at the beginning perhaps a touch of (suicidal) envy of the dead.

From The Moody Blues' "Question" (1970)

But in the grey of the morning, My mind becomes confused, Between the dead and the sleeping, And the road that I must choose.
