Denison Witmer - Are You A Dreamer? (2005) by Denison Witmer (보컬) on maniadb.com

How you found me out I still never understand,
Thoughts you can't take with you when you go.
You were waving flags that bare the colors
Of your love I didn't know:
Orange for the vineyards,
Blue is for the rivers,
Green goes like a hillside covered now,
White is not surrender
Despite what you've been told;
It's clouds of hope
That fall on you now, save you now.
Fall on you, fall on you now, save you now.

One time we met, you were outside
Floating in the forest. I placed my stigmata
On your hands. Little flowers that you have sown
Show people you have known
that I am love and
Fall on you now, save you now.
Fall on you, fall on you now, save you now.

And fall on you now, save you now.
Fall on you, fall on you now, save you now.
Fall on you now, save you now.
Fall on you, fall on you now, save you now.

My room has a big white bed
Pictures on the mirrors
Books that last a year
Everything but sleep
Don't you know?

Nothing won't fit under there
The Dowmaker's ghost
A heavenly host
Everything but sleep
Don't you know?
Everything but sleep
Where does it go?
Everything but sleep
On it goes...

If it weren't for you
I could be anywhere
I'd rather be here
Don't you know?

Now that I know I'll never feel the same way
Everything but sleep
Don't you know?
Everything but sleep
On it goes
On it goes...

Can you hear the ringing of the bell tower
Counting off the days we can't replace
I would like to think it's not that way
All the songs that find you in the city
Pull you from your bedroom to the streets
Pushing all your sadness underneath

There's a song I've been singing
All these years as they pass
There's a lot of big questions I never ask
There's a lot of questions never asked

Consider the lillies of the valleys
Neither do they toil or they spin
Still a quiet hand is watching over them
I became a prodigal and left here
My petals out like windmills in the air
Waiting for a breese
For any sign of care

There's a song I've been singing
All these years as they pass
There's a lot of big questions I never ask
There's a lot of questions never asked

Dream, are you a dreamer?
Are you a dreamer?
Do you dream?
Sleep, are you a sleeper?
Are you a sleeper?
Do you sleep?
When your brown eyes close
Do blue skies open up?
When your breathing slows
Your mind run fast and free?
Will you sleep and dream with me?
Love, are you my lover?
Are you my lover?
Do you love me?
Save, are you a savior?
Are you a savior?
Will you save?
When my blue eyes close
Will white clouds lift me up?
When my body slows
My mind run fast and free?
Do you hold me when I sleep?
Do you hold me when I sleep?
When your brown eyes close
Do blue skies open up?
When your breathing slows
Your mind run fast and free?
Will you sleep and dream with me?
Will you sleep and dream with me?
Water, I?m walking on water
Walking on water for you.

Skipping like a stone,
across the bluest pools of what I know.
Don't know where to go.
Each one leaves a mark,
circles through the dark and sinks into
the place I need you most.

As far as the east from the west they say.
I should know my east from west I know.
As far as the east from the west they say.
And I am only human anyway.

Now for all your cares,
Put them in the air that I breathe in
until you tell me "no".
And for the smallest hands,
Put them in my hand and I walk on
until you say "let go".


As far as the east from the west they say.
I should know my east from west I know.
As far as the east from the west they say.
And I am only human anyway.

I am only human anyway.

She's the kind of girl that tends to brown
freckles on her elbows and her knees
And I'm the boy that passes through these towns
I leave before we find out what it means

I'll send a letter addressed to you
it says you're my California brown and blue
Another chorus line gives into waves
it fades away

So I push through another hotel door
and I pull back the bed sheets till they break
and I sleep so hard I don't even dream
weightless in the arms of Golden Gate

The only music I want to hear
is the sound of the last light left dissapears
Another songbird gives up it's wings it fades away

dada dada dada
dada dada dada

I'll send a letter addressed to you
it says you're my California brown and blue
Another chorus line gives in to waves
it says your my California Golden Gate

The only music I want to hear is the sound of the last light that disapears
Another songbird gives up it's wings
it fades away
Another songbird gives up it's wings
it fades away

There's a dream I have,
it comes back when all the days turn into one.
I'm in a coat and hat,
and I'm standing on the coast of England.
With a castle and cathedral on the sand,
I reached down to touch the water with my hand.
Then you turn and say to me,
"You've been talking in your sleep,
What did you see? What does it mean?"

I was a photograph
of our daytrip from the window of a train.
The one we cut in half.
I kept mine and made a bookmark on a page.
It fell out today as I was getting packed.
Have I left you here more times than I've come back?
Like that snowfall out of reach,
we kept our details underneath,
once made of stone, we went for broke.
I didn't know.

Are you a dreamer?

Lately I been waking to
The bluest stars that I once slept through
The morning hangs like open chords
That I fill in with my own thoughts and words

I used to worry all the time
But I slowed down to live my life
To live my life now

College campus and warmest grass
We sit and watch the poeple rush to class
When did we to decide that life had to be
All fasts and cheques, that we lost mystery

We used to worry all the time
But we slowed down to live our lives
To live our lives now

We used to worry all the time
But we slowed down to live our lives
To live our lives now

Mary, you are the bird inside the hand
of St. Francis in the garden where he stands.
Handwriting, a birth mark, and a quilt,
mother to my mother and to me. And to me.

Mary, you are the mason jars in spring,
the kitchen with the view across a hill.
First memory is a Bible verse in song,
the organ while my family sings along. We sing along.

And on the calendar when I leave
a little note for you, so you see
when I'm gone, I never go too far.
Your heart is my heart,
your blood, my blood.
When I'm gone, I never get too far.

Mother to my mother and to me.

this is what it's like
finding your feet again
the part of you that couldn't
finally thinks you can

you're taking off some time to do this
a small apartment bedroom rearranged
to know that you are loved
you're finding your feet again
the part of you that couldn't
finally thinks you can

a brownstone on a street in brooklyn
the light tier flash from temperature to time
and people do the same
you're falling alseep again
part of you a dreamer
and part of you is dreamt

and you said...

go now in the light of your god
go now in the love of your god
go now in the peace of your god
go now in the joy of your god
