José González - #9 Dream Lyrics

José González Lyrics

"#9 Dream"
(originally by John Lennon)
(from "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty" soundtrack)

So long ago
Wasn't a dream
Wasn't just a dream
I know, yes, I know
It seems so very real
It seems so real to me

To walk down the street
Through the acres of dreams
I thought I could hear
Hear, hear, hear
Someone call out my name
As it started to rain
To stand still seemed to strange

Out of a goggle you stand still
Out of a goggle you stand still
Out of a goggle you stand still
Out of a goggle you stand still

Dream, dream away
Magic in the air
It's magic in the air now
I believe, yes, I believe
All I cannot say
What more can I say

On the river of sound
Through we go round and round
I thought if you
Feel, feel, feel
Music touching my soul
Something wants, I call
Spent time once I fall

Out of a goggle you stand still
Out of a goggle you stand still
Out of a goggle you stand still
Out of a goggle you stand still

You sing out to me in sorrow
Something on the side
Screaming was the calling

Someone call out my name
As it started to rain
To stand still seemed to strange

John Lennon wrote "#9 Dream" in 1974. He told BBC in 1980 "That's what I call craftsmanship writing, meaning, you know, I just churned that out. I'm not putting it down, it's just what it is, but I just sat down and wrote it, you know, with no real inspiration, based on a dream I'd had."
