Lyrics
Many came to be but you know it was only in a dream
It?s funny what it?s come to mean
A sleepy town with no river, it only has a stream
Just not deep enough to cover me
What it brings for you it shows, only seen through eyes
Of blue, hoping you might follow
And it leaves us feeling hollow.
Conversations sink like stones, weighted from below
As they?re carving future canyons
When it comes to make us known it?s never quite
As sweet as the way when it?s not shown
In the houses there are ghosts waiting up till 3
Tracing out to follow.
*And we gathered up our things and we watched the submarines sink alone.
As they dive into their tombs, one by one they follow.
And it leaves us feeling hollow.*
Many came to be but you know it was only in a dream
It?s funny what it?s come to mean.
Sleepy town with no river, it only has a stream
Just not deep enough to cover me.
Conversations sink like stones weighted from below
You can?t breathe when you swallow.
