Joel Plaskett - A Benefit 4 Dreamland lyrics

There’s a place I start
In the corner of my heart
That could take this world apart
And put it back together

And if only for a night
Can I shake these satellites?
Trade my thoughts for steel guitars
And dim the lights to see the stars

As I fumble through the dark
From the friction comes the spark
To light the flickering flame
Inside the hurricane

Mother Nature
Run your fingers through my hair
Can you make one last repair?
I have been shaken

Fragile creatures lose their way
On winding roads forever young
Is getting old

You have mistaken me for somebody else
I am surrounded you can’t leave this house
The way you found it

Don’t get too close to me
You’ll lose the mystery
Best keep some distance, dear
You’re not alone in here

Lights in the Holophane
Worlds just beyond the frame
Twin moons and missing friends
Reflecting in the lens

This world is calling out
Knows what it’s all about
Retrace but don’t retreat
We’re all on Only Street

True love’s got enemies
Tired eyes & memories
The last show of the tour
Through this RCA 44

Here’s to the mystery like Eugene and Marie
Like you and me the road to Cathedral Grove
In your Pontiac before I had my own

25 years winding the curves
Following you, babe searching for words

In through the open door back to ‘94
Up on the third floor
Then into the second act with a couple cats
In some Victorian shack

Closing my eyes living to dream
Wondering how i’d never been

To Dreamland, Dreamland we’re in there
Dreamland, Dreamland begin there

On the slow train down the fast lane
Through the last pane where we meet again

In Dreamland, Dreamland we’re coming
Dreamland this motors humming

We put faith in imagination
Now we gotta go play a show with the band
It’s a benefit for

Dreamland, Dreamland connect us, connect us
Dreamland, Sandman protect us

You’re a soft drug from a wildflower
Life’s a slow dive through the Magic Hour
