Bill Callahan - The Sing (Dream River) lyrics
[Bill Callahan - The Sing Dream River lyrics]
Drinking while sleeping
Strangers unknowingly keep me company
In the hotel bar
Looking out a window that isn't there
Looking at the carpet and the chairs
The only words I've said today
Are "beer" and "thank you" beer
Thank you beer
Thank you beer
Giving praise in a quiet way like a church
Like a church like a church
That's far away
I've got limitations like Marvin Gaye
Mortal joy is that way
Outside a train sings it's whale song
To a long, long train long long gone
Then silence comes back alone
High as scaffolding
Until the wind finds something to ping
Or the pinging thing finds the wind
We're all looking for a body
Or a means to make one sing
Strangers unknowingly keep me company
In the hotel bar
Looking out a window that isn't there
Looking at the carpet and the chairs
The only words I've said today
Are "beer" and "thank you" beer
Thank you beer
Thank you beer
Giving praise in a quiet way like a church
Like a church like a church
That's far away
I've got limitations like Marvin Gaye
Mortal joy is that way
Outside a train sings it's whale song
To a long, long train long long gone
Then silence comes back alone
High as scaffolding
Until the wind finds something to ping
Or the pinging thing finds the wind
We're all looking for a body
Or a means to make one sing
