lyrics

Every night, it's the same dream.
Someone's playing music in my sleep.
I'm in a tavern near a tame stream,
And we don't have any secrets left to keep.

I dreamt you'd usher me right past
The shadow her cold frame had cast.
As mornings broke through 10 long years,
I spoke when only I could hear.
Can't drive the ghosts from this decade.
I'd end my dreams to have them made.
I thought you'd wake me up back there,
But these are things you can't repair.

Every night, it's the same dream--
The adjunct on your hand, my silver ring.
Every song the band plays has a lame theme,
And you're still giving names to everything.

I dreamt you'd muscle me right past
The shadow her cold frame had cast.
That band in Athens reappears
Every time you plug your ears.
Can't drive the ghosts from this decade--
10 years of well-rehearsed charades.
I thought you'd wake me up back there,
But these are things you can't repair.

To a mistress, from a governor,
From one airport to another--
It's no wonder I don't want to fall asleep.

Every night, it's the same dream,
And it's all so fresh and vivid when I rise.
I've neatly hatched one of my famed schemes,
And it catches you completely by surprise.

I dreamt you'd muscle me right past
The shadow Sarah's frame had cast.
That band in Athens reappears
Every time you plug your ears.
Can't drive the ghosts from this decade.
I'd end my dreams to have them made.
I thought you'd wake me up back there,
But these are things you can't repair.
