Lyrics Drift While You're Sleeping - Trey Anastasio, Ghosts of the Forest

Drift While You're Sleeping

I’ve seen the day go by
And drag you down
Pushed and pulled 'round
Rocked and bound
You can drift while you’re sleeping
I’m here with you
You can drift while you’re dreaming
And love will carry you through
Earth-bound, we drag on
Our wars to wage
The moon looks black now
So turn the page
You can drift while you’re sleeping
It will all feel new
You can drift while you’re dreaming
And love will carry us through
Oh, down the stream you ride
Oh, down the stream you ride
Oh
We are wind, we are wind
And we can’t hold on
Hold on to anything we see that’s gone
We’re gone in a heartbeat, fleeting, it’s gone
We are wind, we are wind
We crumble into nothing, we are wind
Two parts me, folded together
For one brief moment everything fits
The sun feels warm and that heat there was dripped
But this life is a stage set
The same sun rose on everyone who ever lived or died
And that same sun set
So I guess that the good times turned out to be
Just the temporary reprieve of morality
The nights drip over the falls in a barrel with me
We’ll do it again when we meet on the other side
So Charon, in your filthy cloak
I’ll take my friend on this ferry ride
You can still have your obul
But we don’t need a guide
So step aside
That thin, thin bubble, I know what it is
I see it, I see it, it’s always been there
It’s stronger than words, stronger than time
It’s the line drawn between us
It’s love, it’s love, it always was
And it is and it always will be love
And it is and it was and it will be love
It is and it always will be love
It’s love, it’s love, it always was
And it is and it always will be love
We move through stormy weather
We know that our days are few
And we dream and we struggle together
And love will carry us through
And love will carry us through
We move (We move)
Through stormy weather (Stormy weather)
We know that our days are few (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And we dream and we struggle together
And love will carry us through
We move (We move, yeah)
Through stormy weather (Through stormy weather)
We know (We know) that our days are few
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh)
And we dream and we struggle together (We struggle together)
And love will carry us through
We move (We move)
Through stormy weather (Through stormy weather)
We know (We know, we know)
That our days are few (That our days are few, yeah)
And we dream (We dream)
And we struggle together (We struggle together)
And love will carry us through (Will carry us through)
We move through stormy weather
We know that our days are few
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And we dream and we struggle together
But love will carry us through
But love will carry us through
