Jeffrey Lewis - To go and return (A Turn In The Dream-Songs) lyrics
[Jeffrey Lewis - To go and return A Turn In The Dream-Songs lyrics]
Wish on a star, it's gonna work in the future
In the time that it takes a
Wish to go and return
When you're sleeping at night the
Wish is flying and flying
The star will wait 'til it's
Time to listen and learn
And the wish it will land
In the star's giant hand
And a bridge will appear to
The star's giant ear
And the wish it will walk to
The ear and then talk
And this all will take place deep
In the forest of space
Every song a bird has sung in the morning
Is a song on the dark side
That a bird dreams at night
And each turn of the earth makes
Half the upside down beaks
Take a turn in the dream-songs
From the ones upside-right
And each time that they match there's
A egg that will hatch
'til they open the moon
And the earth will hatch too
'til a chirp is expressed
From each galaxy's nest
And this all will take place deep
In the forest of space
When the wishes come back they'll
Be granted and given
But the time that it took will
Be a life and a half
So each life that we live is
Someone's wish from a distance
Each wish that we make the
Future won't need to ask
And the starlight that beams through
Each island that dreams
Is reflected so small in the eyes of us all
And each light bounces back to
Someplace out in the black
From our face to it's face deep
In the forest of space
In the time that it takes a
Wish to go and return
When you're sleeping at night the
Wish is flying and flying
The star will wait 'til it's
Time to listen and learn
And the wish it will land
In the star's giant hand
And a bridge will appear to
The star's giant ear
And the wish it will walk to
The ear and then talk
And this all will take place deep
In the forest of space
Every song a bird has sung in the morning
Is a song on the dark side
That a bird dreams at night
And each turn of the earth makes
Half the upside down beaks
Take a turn in the dream-songs
From the ones upside-right
And each time that they match there's
A egg that will hatch
'til they open the moon
And the earth will hatch too
'til a chirp is expressed
From each galaxy's nest
And this all will take place deep
In the forest of space
When the wishes come back they'll
Be granted and given
But the time that it took will
Be a life and a half
So each life that we live is
Someone's wish from a distance
Each wish that we make the
Future won't need to ask
And the starlight that beams through
Each island that dreams
Is reflected so small in the eyes of us all
And each light bounces back to
Someplace out in the black
From our face to it's face deep
In the forest of space
