Okkervil River - And I Have Seen the World of Dreams lyrics

And I have seen the world of dreams 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 till the time I awake And at midnight the moonlight reflects as the lake Is shining at me, till night takes it away There's one world in the distance, one world in the way And not one can stay 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 'Cause 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 Then we load up the car and drive far to some street Where a new life awaits, till day takes it away There's one world in the distance, one world in the way And not one can stay
