Текст песни Dreams - Josh Ritter



All that I felt on the first time it happened
Was the feeling of something bad coming true
One day I was happy, one day I was laughing
Then, somewhere a chain snapped; like that, I was loose
Why don't anything give me the joy that it used to?
Why don't anything feel as real as it once was?
I feel so sad but that ain't how I choose to
It shouldn't have to hurt so bad but it does
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
It was a summer night when I found my religion
I was under the tent, I was struck by the palm
And the Holy Spirit rained down upon me a vision
And I felt better a little while but then it was gone
I went to the mountain then I went to the cavern
I washed myself in the river and I waited on love
But I was lonely and dark as the moons around Saturn
Yeah, darkness for miles was all that there was
It was after the Lord and me parted ways that I found her
And she was taking pictures of people who came in to the mall
And she took my portrait as well as she could do
With someone who seemed to be not there at all
I stayed with her a while and I called myself happy
I clung to her hands, and her hair, and her mouth
But like every man who finds out he is drowning
I held on to her hard until I just wore her out
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
So I took off south like the beat of a bat wing
I fell in with this boat salesman and a kid
One carried the nails for his own crucifixion
The other one seemed to screw up whatever he did
The kid always loved me like I was his neighbor
He asked all about me and my life on the road
And the boat salesman, when he found out he wasn't a savior
Shot himself in the head in a Key West Payday Loan
I got jobs and I lost them like the beat of a drummer
Who lost sleep, and got drunk, and couldn't see through his tears
And just how I survived, I cannot even remember
But I know that it lasted a couple of years
I moved down deep into the jungle during those days
I existed on oranges and oxygen
But I carried the sadness against which even the old ways
Reached their limits of power and could not defend
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream
I wandered through temples covered over with Saints' days
I wandered through drug labs and kidnaps and graves
I tried my best to meet death by the jaguar or AK
But I was covered over with grief and by this, I was saved
When I was up, I saw the connection between all of all things
When I was up, I was so high up above
That the world appeared to me electric and thrilling
With a fineness of lightning and the sweet milk of love
When I was down, the whole world melted
In burning black plastic wherever I chanced to be
And off that, I was judged with some kind of a tragic
Mistake that had somehow crawled out of the sea
How long until I'm free of these devils that bind me?
How long until I live the life that I have?
Can I outstrip a creator who searches and finds me
Then leaves me with the demons that I already have?
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
I went to the doctor who sent me to a doctor
Who sent me to a doctor who sent me to a room
And that's where I waited with the world ending around me
And the voices in my head jangling 'round in a tomb
She gave me a bottle and I took what was in it
The stuff in my bloodstream started to rattle and fizz
And I know that they're working but the devil is still down there
I tell myself that it's better and sometimes it is
What else is there to say but to tell you that I love you
I haven't seen much of the world but I know
That there aren't any others who know me like you do
And your comfort seems to follow me wherever I go
I know you're no cure for the darkness inside me
But it feels better just to know that you're near
And your patience, your joy, and your strength are astounding
And I know that without you, I wouldn't be here
I know that without you, I wouldn't be here
And I know that without you, I would not be here
I know that without you, I wouldn't be here
I know that without you
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Dreams a-keep a-coming but the dream done gone
Yeah
