John Grant - Dandy Star lyrics

There is an eerie silence
In this house tonight
I feel the weight of time
The hours pass so slowly

I hear the sounds of morning
But my eyes can't see
Death arrived last night
And lies sleeping next to me

You're in all my dreams
I rush to meet you in the morning
I see your breath
Rolling and curling in the cold crisp air
Oh Dandy Star, it's you who carries me
Through dew-soaked meadows
Out and away from the horror of this place

Aunty Betty's in the parlor
Sitting in her favourite chair
I feel her eyes wide open
Frozen in a lifeless stare
As fears takes over i retreat into my mind
And there you are, my Dandy Star
Forever by my side

You're in all my dreams
I rush to meet you in the morning
I see your breath
Rolling and curling in the cold crisp air
Oh Dandy Star, it's you who carries me
Through dew-soaked meadows
Out and away from the horror of this place

You're in all my dreams
I rush to meet you in the morning
I see your breath
Rolling and curling in the cold crisp air
Oh Dandy Star, it's you who carries me
Through dew-soaked meadows
(Oh Dandy Star, is you)
I always knew you would return to
Take me from this place
