lyrics

Time Slows Down in Dreams

The dusty bars of the spider’s web
Catch wounded notes as they leave my head
And that is how the black widow is fed
On broken melodies

Monarch wings phosphoresce on the forest ground
Gold cowlicks bloom on your baby’s crown
Replaced soon by weeds and leaves of Kodachrome
Their dust is guaranteed

But time slows down in dreams
And will bring peace to those who ache inside
When we go walking up the hill and down the other side

A crow’s foot stamps the lover’s eye
Latent wisdom teeth push flesh aside
Even the forbidden groom will be forced to view his bride
Through a veil of memory

An old man shakes beneath a weathervane
Cold coffee mouth full of chipped porcelain
The fire he bartered was blown out by the wind
Which bent his backbone like a tree

But time slows down in dreams
And will bring peace to those who ache inside
When we go walking up the hill and down the other side
