The Wallflowers - Nearly Beloved lyrics

Now last night I dreamt one thousand lines I could see the dawn through a different set of eyes There in my slumber pa**ing time Long live the world resting on its side I walked the orchard with you Your hand in mine In the evergreens drinking wine I saw the snow falling black and white from the auburn sky Last night I lived more than one thousand lives Not one of them survived Up through the earth at dawn I came I crossed the kingdom through venom pouring rain When the vacuum of my own brigade Resurrected to make you mine again Orpheus looked back once She sailed the underworld No second chances will be earned I have returned as a phantom now to walk the bow and stern Last night I lived more than one thousand lives Not one of them survived If we could do better I know that we would Maybe admit it now, we're not that good We keep the needle between zero and one You play your fiddle, baby, I'll play dumb Into the pastures of our minds Goes my nearly beloved and I Blazing two parallel white lines Through this broken heart split open wide Time may be on my side but it's mostly far behind I was the apple of your eye Now I'm the boy spinning on a wheel that's stuck with knives Last night I lived more than one thousand lives Not one of them survived
