Joel Plaskett - A Benefit 4 Dreamland lyrics
[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
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

Worlds just beyond the frame

Reflecting in the lens

Knows what it’s all about
