lyrics

We ’ll see your father in dreamland. Boats leave most
every night.
Climb aboard and we’ll wait for a fair wind. Close
your eyes, close your eyes
and we’ll steer through the hemispheres that he laid
for you when he was strong.
For no one is ever, no is ever really gone.
We ’ll see your father in dreamland working along
the far shore
with a cigarette cupped in his good hand and his
collar turned up in the cold wind.
Long gone the land that his heart built and the bed
that he made for your mom,
but no one is ever, no one is ever really gone.
And if you wake up in dreamland, you won’t know
where you are.
You’ll be lost in the bed that I made for your head,
though my hands were never so sure.
Climb on. They’re longing to see us, and we won’t
be gone long.
For no one is ever, no one is ever really gone.
