Nearly Beloved

Last night I dreamt one thousand liesI could see the dawn through a different set of eyesThere in my slumber passing timeLong live the world resting on its sideI walked the orchard with youYour hand in mineIn the evergreens drinking wineI saw the snow fall in black and whiteFram the auburn skyLast night I lived more than one thousand livesNot one of them survivedUp through the earth and at dawn I cameI crossed the kingdom through venom pouring rainIn the vacuum of my own brigadeResurrected to make you mineOrpheus looked back onceShe sailed the underworldNo second chances will be earnedI have returned as a phantom nowTo walk the bow and sternLast night I lived more than one thousand livesNot one of them survivedIf we could do better I know that we wouldMaybe admit it now, we're not that goodWe keep the needle between zero and oneYou play your fiddle, baby, I'll play dumbInto the pastures of our mindsGoes my nearly beloved and IBlazing two parallel white linesThrough this broken heart spilt open wideTime may be on my sideBut it's mostly far behindI was the apple of your eyeNow I'm the boy spinning on a wheel thereStuck with knivesLast night I lived more than one thousand livesNot one of them survived
