lyrics

last night i dreamt you crying
saying you can't take no more and you wake up in fear
but i woke up a cold stone

this night i dreamt you smiling
all glowing in light so warm
holding a bird on your palm
but i woke up a dead log
in a room in the world
where hues are lost among faded objects

in the neighbourhood
dogs are barking
they talk thus
exchanging echoes in landplots enclosed
and the world is humming
and the world is droning

it did since the sounds appeared
but when does the first sound start?
the sound of your voice must be its descendant
oh shall it ever fade out?
no nothing ever fades out
no nothing ever fades out!
even on the ruins of time
that sweeps away the last of remaining temples

and she, she said
you don't exist, i don't exist, we don't exist
but i woke up in tangled sheets
and knew exactly i am here
her measured breath, her sleeping eyelids and hair
there in the dark were but a mare's nest in silent summer air
you don't exist, i don't exist, we don't exist
and she woke up

in the neighbourhood
dogs are quiet, they must be sleeping now
and birds are chirping, already woken up
and the Earth is glowing
and the town is dawning
bugs are buzzing
and cats are meowing
and the river slowly flows
