My Morning Jacket - Dondante lyrics

In a dream I saw you walk
Like a kid alive and talking, that was you
In the classroom, you were teaching
On the streets you were policing
That was you to the one I now know most
I will tell them of your ghost, like a thing
That never, ever was

And all that ever mattered
Will some day turn back to batter
Like a joke
Behind thin walls, you hid your feelings
Takes four legs to make a ceiling
Like a thing

In a dream I saw you walk
With your friends alive and talking
That was you
Well, I saw it in your movements
And even though you never knew it
Well I knew how sweet it could be
If you'd never left these streets

You had me worried
So worried that this would last
You had me worried
So worried that this would last
But now I'm learning
Learning that this will pass
But now I'm learning
Learning that this will pass
