"Still In Dreams" lyrics
"Still In Dreams"
This morning I am still in dreams
Of you and I both young as spring
My step is cautious down to breakfast
The floor of dreams is eggshell thin
There is a green mist in the trees
The toast is burnt to cindered crumbs
The sound of bees hum in my head
And I am all fingers and thumbs
I've been sleeping now for hours
I can't seem to wake me up
Getting rained on in the shower
Fumbling with my coffee cup
Deep down I know I'm in a mist
And that really I'm not even trying
For I have always been like this
Whenever I've been flying
I drag a comb through knots of dreams
For when I shave I must address
This image mirrored back at me
That's weathered in time's wilderness
Whilst yours is fixed in summer light
Not creased or lined and smudged with age
A new print from time's negative
A red dot on a linen page
There is a green mist in the trees
Along the river known to me
There is a blue mist in the grass
And I am lost and all at sea

And the eagle takes to flight
From a distance there is harmony
And it...

Peter, Paul And Mary - "Early Mornin' Rain" In the early mornin' rain with a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart, and my pockets full of sand
I'm a long way from home, and I miss my loved one so
In the early mornin' rain with no place...

Changing my life with one wave of his hand

Richard & Linda Thompson - "Dimming Of The Day" This old house is falling down around my ears
I'm drowning in the river of my tears
When all my will is gone you hold me sway
I need you at the dimming of the day
You pulled me like the moon pulls...
