Sometimes When I Dream Lyrics

The sun through the window

Bare trees and a southern sky

Birds in the air

Gliding way up high

They see the trouble

I am going to send your way, oh yeah

Those birds In that Southern sky

Sometimes when I drink

The ghosts they come around

We tend to play catch up

And pick through the lost and found

There's a tent in the woods

With a bike and a chair

I walk past every day

But I never see anyone there

I'm a walking with a limp

Still doing what I can

I hope you know that I'm trying

Well I have these words

And yards of faded glory

I hope I hope I hope you understand

I secede myself tonight

Not much time to get back home

Silly silly me lost in rhapsody

One fine, One fine, skinned knee, skinned knee memory

I see my father in the garden and its nineteen sixty five

He's wearing his khaki pants

A drink in his hand he's shirtless

Practicing his farewell dance

I'm in the grass and I'm watching

Two fingers measuring his drink

And he says son, he says son I need just two more inches

Say hello to Joe

Well he's taking out the trash

We share a bit of land

And a little wooden fence

I hear his troubles as they spill out of his house

We do our best to be good neighbors

I secede myself tonight
