Such A Dream

from All Your Days - LP by James O'Brien

/

lyrics

Just before the fly becomes the catch
Just before two hands jumpstart the chest
Just a booted foot upon the neck
Just around the bend and up a stretch

Such a dream
Such a dream
I don’t know what it means
Such a dream
Such a dream
Such a dream

Just before our fingers touch the rope
Just as rows of ink-black printers choke
Just as rain-sauced color runs from cloaks
Just under the chin where they wrote hope

Such a dream
Such a dream
I don’t know what it means
Such a dream
Such a dream
Such a dream

Just when we was sure it was our heart
Just as all the wires ripped apart
Just before our wild red blood runs home
Just around the bend I thought we’d roam

Such a dream
Such a dream
I don’t know what it means
Such a dream
Such a dream
Such a dream

Such a dream
Such a dream
I don’t know what it means
Such a dream
Such a dream
Such a dream

Such a dream
Such a dream
I don’t know what it means
Such a dream
Such a dream
Such a dream

Such a dream
Such a dream
I don’t know what it means
Such a dream
Such a dream
Such a dream
