And I have seen the world of dreams
And, fresh flown through the trees
Then dropped off at the curb alive
Have 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
And I have seen the wood of dreams
Carved grainless and clean with a sweep of one hand
And have 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
