A Benefit 4 Dreamland
[Verse 1]
There’s a place I start
In the corner of my heart
That could take this world apart
And put it back together
[Verse 2]
And if only for a night
Can I shake these satellites?
Trade my thoughts for steel guitars
And dim the lights to see the stars
[Verse 3]
As I fumble through the dark
From the friction comes the spark
To light the flickering flame
Inside the hurricane
[Chorus]
Mother Nature
Run your fingers through my hair
Can you make one last repair?
I have been shaken
Fragile creatures lose their way
On winding roads
Forever young
Is getting old
You have mistaken me for somebody else
I am surrounded
You can’t leave this house
The way you found it
[Verse 4]
Don’t get too close to me
You’ll lose the mystery
Best keep some distance, dear
You’re not alone in here
[Verse 5]
Lights in the Holophane
Worlds just beyond the frame
Twin moons and missing friends
Reflecting in the lens
[Chorus 2]
This world is calling out
Knows what it’s all about
Retrace but don’t retreat
We’re all on Only Street
True love’s got enemies
Tired eyes & memories
The last show of the tour
Through this RCA 44
[Verse 6]
Here’s to the mystery
Like Eugene and Marie
Like you and me
The road to Cathedral Grove
In your Pontiac
Before I had my own
[Chorus 3]
25 years
Winding the curves
Following you, babe
Searching for words
[Verse 7]
In through the open door
Back to ‘94
Up on the third floor
Then into the second act
With a couple cats
In some Victorian shack
[Chorus 4]
Closing my eyes
Living to dream
Wondering how
I’d never been
[Chorus 5]
To Dreamland, Dreamland
We’re in there
Dreamland, Dreamland
Begin there
On the slow train
Down the fast lane
Through the last pane
Where we meet again
[Chorus 6]
In Dreamland, Dreamland
We’re coming
Dreamland
This motors humming
[Verse 9]
We put faith
In imagination
Now we gotta go play
A show with the band
It’s a benefit for
[Chorus 7]
Dreamland, Dreamland
Connect us, connect us
Dreamland, Sandman
Protect us
[Outro]
You’re a soft drug
From a wildflower
Life’s a slow dive
Through the Magic Hour
