Dave Matthews Band - Dreams Of Our Fathers Lyrics
Oh, Im choking, Im chokingOn the smoke from this burning houseI claw and I scrapeBut I cant seem to get outBut who then, who is thisThats scratching from the groundOh, its my world, tooBut whose gold is this Im digging out?When we go, where we goWhen were deadIs the verdict still out?Do we get into lineTo line up with those long dead now?With the muffled tears of sorrowBones undergroundIs this time our time?Yes, it isWithout or with this shadow of doubtI dont want to wake upLost in the dreams of our fathersOh, its such a waste childTo live and die for the dreams of our fathersThough I must confess, yesMy view is a wonder about thisThis love I possess, loveMust be the dreams of our fathersI wanna go, I wanna runWe turn, so sure someones looking downIts haunting me, haunting meLeaves us here to get outThough I dont believe, I dont believeThis flavor in my mouthIs from my tongue aloneSo bitter I wanna spit it outI repeat these wordsThey come outUnder the blue light in the skyMy empty pages are filling upWith these wicked liesBut I hear deep in myselfAn echo, an echoOf empty, empty emptinessComes up and swells insideI dont want to wake upLost in the dreams of our fathersOh, its such a waste childTo live and die for the dreams of our fathersThough I must confess, yesMy view is a wonder about thisThis love I possess, loveIt must be the dreams of our fathersRain on my headRain on my headRain on meAnd then give me airRain on my loveAgain and againWhy cant I dream you away from me?Look here, look hereBloated, floatingGo belly downBelly up in the waterBut who is this here thats drowned?We followed a drunken manHe got us all spinning roundBut its like he swallowed himselfAnd didnt leave us a way outI dont want to wake upLost in the dreams of our fathersOh, its such a shame childTo live and die for the dreams of our fathersThough I must confess, yesMy view is a wonder about thisThis love I possess, loveIt must be the dreams of our fathersThis love I possess, loveIt must be the dreams of our fathersThis love I possess, loveIt must be the dreams of our fathersThis love I possess, loveIt must be the love of our fathersThe dreamsThe dreamsThe dreamsThis love I possess love
