Dream Tears

When the mill shut down
we hit the pavement with a thud
then we got up and kept walking.
Some to the workhouse
some to the poorhouse
some to the whorehouse
and the grave.

This battered old shell
looks like a death mask.
Step into this dream
only real to the sleeper.
Like in a dream
where you wake up laughing.

Games people play
all a cool illusion.
Dragging pulling me back
across my tattered brow.
Dream---
unholy afternoon of dreams.

Lovers are gone
sometimes the door opens.
Mistaken for a human being
a hilarious dream.

I went to sleep in another town
dreamed I was living in another time
life's like that sometimes kinda.
Miss her everyday...
she won't go away.

Push the hair out of your eyes
wipe back your tears.
Let the wind blow through
this unholy afternoon of dreams.

Lucky to hear the Pluto girls dance
the ground was glowing.
Would you like to see the dwarf planet split?
With one little karate chop.
Every day...
she won't go away.

[Twirretwarre]

Great song! And performance.



[piedpiper6996]

The video is from a performance of Leonard Cohen songs and most of the musicians in that performance had nothing to do with this recording! I should know, I see myself in this video and know I had nothing to do with the audio.

[NJBellyDanceEvents]

Amazing.......this is BRILLIANT and most excellent! Soraya ;))))

[TomHendricksMusea]

WD, You are becoming very prolific. I like this one because it is not only understandable but honest. Something music lyrics can use more of. Well done.

[barbettemroe]

Good lyrics and performance. The slightly off beat style, (I like) a strange mix between Bob dylan and Prince, at least to my ears. Best wishes, Barbette *****

[nidgetucker]
