I woke up to a dream
hung my feet in the flames
I saw things no man should ever see.
I was fallin' in love
or at least thought I was
all along I've been lost in some velvet dream.
I put all things where they belong.
Indeed I was right indeed I was wrong.
I heard some silver song
dripping down from the sun
for the first time in my mind
it all was real.
I saw sunbeams bend
in the mouth of some friend
all along he's been asleep on
the spinning wheel.
I put all things where they belong
indeed I was right indeed I was wrong.
Oh hands of the sun
some ten thousand strong
you keep turnin' me off
and turnin' me on.
You keep turnin' me off
and turnin' me on.
Always turnin' me off
and turnin' me on.
and in the morning oh my skin
all to hold the insides in
can you tell me where the roosters been?
whether hes comin round again
i thought of a sunbeam and felt it appear
it burned on you yellow and sang in your ear
oh what did you hear? tell me what did ya hear?
the cold train passin
oh it just runs for me now
but i always sit here asking
when ya gonna come back round?
when ya gonna come back round?
when ya gonna come back round?
when ya gonna come back round?
