Nearly Beloved |
Last night I dreamt one thousand lies |
I could see the dawn through a different set of eyes |
There in my slumber passing time |
Long live the world resting on its side |
I walked the orchard with you |
Your hand in mine |
In the evergreens drinking wine |
I saw the snow fall in black and white |
Fram the auburn sky |
Last night I lived more than one thousand lives |
Not one of them survived |
Up through the earth and at dawn I came |
I crossed the kingdom through venom pouring rain |
In the vacuum of my own brigade |
Resurrected to make you mine |
Orpheus looked back once |
She sailed the underworld |
No second chances will be earned |
I have returned as a phantom now |
To walk the bow and stern |
Last night I lived more than one thousand lives |
Not one of them survived |
If we could do better I know that we would |
Maybe admit it now, we’re not that good |
We keep the needle between zero and one |
You play your fiddle, baby, I’ll play dumb |
Into the pastures of our minds |
Goes my nearly beloved and I Blazing two parallel white lines |
Through this broken heart spilt open wide |
Time may be on my side |
But it’s mostly far behind |
I was the apple of your eye |
Now I’m the boy spinning on a wheel there |
Stuck with knives |
Last night I lived more than one thousand lives |
Not one of them survived |
