My Pillow Is The Threshold |
I take decaf coffee |
Two sugars and one cream |
I don’t see the use in staying up just to watch TV |
I unplug all the neon |
Turn the ringer off the phone |
Throw my thoughts like tomahawks |
Into this world which I disown |
Because the pillow that I dream on |
Is the threshold of a kingdom |
Is the threshold of a world where I’m with you |
It’s a dark and snowy secret |
And it has to do with heaven |
And what looks like sleep is really hot pursuit |
I hold your picture in my mind |
It makes me warm when I am cold |
Gets me up and it makes me walk |
It makes me question what I’m told |
Somewhere in a foggy atlas |
Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea |
First life takes time, then time takes life |
Now the next move’s up to me |
Because the pillow that I dream on |
Leads to some fantastic glory |
It’s the threshold of a world I can’t ignore |
Like time unspoiled from heaven |
Did you find me sleeping in your doorway? |
Now I’m here for good |
I won’t leave you anymore |
