And I Have Seen the World Of Dreams

And I have seen the world of dreams

Fresh-flown through the trees then dropped off at the curb

Alive, I've seen the world awake

And I don't know which I deserve

So when sleep nightly comes to me

With all of these warm blankets piled on my back

I'll hike to see the church of dreams

Where all of the shutters are painted black

And it seems like that's real until the time I awake

And at midnight the moonlight reflects as the lake

Is shining at me, until night takes it away

There's one world in the distance, one world in the way

And not one can stay

I have seen the wood of dreams

Carved grain less and clean with a sweep of one hand

And I've been happy with the leaves on my body when laid under land

So when sleep finally comes to me

Because it comes for the sleek like it comes for the lame

I'll sink beneath a weight of dreams so full and complete that I'm pushed from my name

And it seems like that's real until I fall asleep

And then we load up the car and drive far to some street

Where a new life awaits, until day takes it away

There's one world in the distance, one world in the way

And not one can stay
