The Wallflowers - nearly beloved Lyrics

Last night I dreamt one thousand lies 
I could see the dawn 
Through a different set of eyes. 
There in my slumber passing time, 
Long live the world 
Resting on her side. 

I walked the orchard with you 
Your hand in mine 
In the evergreens drinking wine. 
I saw the snow fall in black and white 
From the auburn skies 
Last night I lived more than one thousand lives 
Not one of them survived. 

Walked through the earth and down I came 
I crossed the kingdom through venom pouring rain 
In the vacuum of my own brigade, 
Resurrected to make you mine again. 

Orpheus looked back once. 
She sailed the underworld. 
No second chances will be earned. 
I have returned 
As a phantom now to walk the bow and stern 
Last night I lived more than one thouasnd lives 
Not one of them survived 

If we could do better I know that we would 
Maybe admit it now, we're not that good. 
We keep the needle between zero and one 
You play your fiddle baby, I'll play dumb. 

Into the pastures of our minds 
Goes my nearly beloved and I. 
Blazing two parallel white lines 
Through this broken heart split open wide 

Time may be on my side, 
But it's mostly far behind 
I was the apple of your eye, 
Now I'm the boy, spinning on the wheel there 
Stuck with knives 
Last night I lived more than one thousand lives 
Not one of them survived.
