The Things I Dreamt About Lyrics

Come lie in the afterglow

Chisel me like a gem

Bare-skinned at the water's edge

It's all inside my head

Sundazed on the patio

The montauks still in bloom

I'm ten miles into a daydream about you

Tiptoe around it, it is always there

But it's never out loud

Once my eyes open I am holding to

The things I dreamt about

Cast lots in the side stage

While you're waiting for the cue

To get back into character

To play the the part of you

Caught up in a kind of backwards

Self-inflicted truth

It's a rare moment when I am not somewhere else too

Tiptoe around it, it is always there

But it's never out loud

All through the afternoon I'm shadowed by

The things I dreamt about

We were down in the meadow

All ablaze in marigold

Held still in the infinite suspension of control

Wait a moment here

And I'll return, I always do

Spin round the revolving door

When I can pass back through

Tiptoe around it, it is always there

But it's never out loud

Slip through the darkness to turn back into

The things I dreamt about

Tiptoe around it, it is always there

But it's never out loud
