lyrics

I had a dream of a man with no face
Came to our house and stole the clock off the kitchen wall
I didn't know what to think of it
I had a dream we were dressed up in white
Spinning on carousels
Flying from the old beams of your house
And I knew that it all would run out and I didn't care

We asked him for the silver lining and he said there was none
We asked him where the dark horse flies to and he said she'd be gone

And I can't keep treading time
For it all will run out and we'll fly back to the river
And show me next time where the horse did find water
And write me the rhymes that explain all the darkness inside of the light
And I'll ask you to read in the depths of the night

We asked him for the silver lining and he said there was none
We asked him where the dark horse flies to and he said she'd be gone

And I can't keep living lies for the children that curl up inside of your eyes
And I might let them cry if I thought they could stop
Might let them dance a little before bed
And stay up for toast
But I fear that they might kill us both

Daisy, daisy, give me your answer do
I'm half crazy just for the love of you
It won't be a stylish marriage
I can't afford a carriage
But you'd look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle made for two

I had a dream of a man with no face
Came to our house and stole the clock off the kitchen wall
I didn't know what to think of it
