Okkervil River - Dead Faces lyrics
[Okkervil River - Dead Faces lyrics]
Down to the water there by the sea
Where the body just floats like
A rowboat and the
Moon's like a harbor light lit in the sky
And this picture's got a woman
Who looks like you and
A guy who looks just like someone I've seen
When it turns out, I hope that it turns out
I hope that it turns out
The way that you dreamed
Embarcadero train station's empty and I just
Cannot believe how long it takes
All the way home through the
City everyone's looking at least
It's nice to believe everyone's looking
This picture's got a woman who
Looks like you and
A guy who looks just like someone I've seen
When it turns out, I hope that it turns out
I hope that it turns out
The way that you dreamed
Ghostly faces at my living room
Window they are not scared
Of me cause they know I can't hurt them
They press up and see, in the lamp glow
All of the hurt and the love inside of me
It's their final duty
To see right through me
Twelve hours 'til the dawn
But we've got to hold on
Hold on to me, cause then we'll keep running
Down to the water this morning
Well nobody wait's for you to believe
In ghosts lit by moonlight or dawning
Or in this picture of you and me
