Okkervil River - Seas Too Far to Reach lyrics

The ladies in my dream are so obliging
They come on down to do the things I need
Whether skies are calm or
Cut apart by lightning
They’re always there to minister to me

And at break of dawn, they’re sweetly shining
Or at quiet of midnight, cold and dim
They say "don’t harm him"
And when I wake just as their eyes are crying
I see that bed and I just
Want to climb back in

But let’s gather up your friends and
Drive up to that country inn
We can stay there
Feeling water warmly wash across our skin
Giving back all of our tears so
That we can cry them again

You want to tell your dad
You can’t believe he’s dying
But let’s just walk on down the
Hall and shut our mouths
The AM radio is broken down and crying
As on this hour drive
We’re silent to ourselves

Let’s go back up to your house
And take our clothes off
And just push and pull ourselves until
We’re deep inside of sleep
And with your body next to me
It's sleepy sighing
Sounds like waves upon a sea too far to reach

But I’ll gather up my men and
Try to sail on it again
And we’ll walk and quietly talk all
Through the country of your skin
Made up of pieces of the places that
You’ve dreamed and that you’ve been
And we will sleep outside in
Tents upon this unfamiliar land
And in the morning we’ll awake, yeah
As a foreign dawning breaks
My men and I will all awake let's try again
