Okkervil River - Sleep And Wake Up Songs (2007) by Okkervil River (보컬) on maniadb.com

Untied again
When you were used to being bound in
When you were usually found forgetting the wild wind from the sea

Let wet breaths begin
Widen your mouth to suck them in
They're coming out above your chin and then they slide in there so sweet

And to some silent bird, I sang
"Have you heard that icicles hang from your feet?"

What passed as fine
You'll think back on that sometime
When from the darkness of the mine a few last diamonds lined your beam

Into some shooting stream I'd spit out the dream
That you would swim away with me
Though from this milky sky I can remove my eye
And sigh upon my side
Instead some future kiss that might not exist
I will send to unbind your hands
And hang the hope you still don't miss the rope
Upon the star that shone on an aching night alone
And then some shaking song you might not sing along
I'll float upon the rough and loving winds

You're untied again
You're untied again
And that door is open
That door is open
That door is open
You can walk through it

And I have seen the world of dreams,
Fresh-flown through the trees then dropped off at the curb
Alive, have seen the world awake,
And I don't know which I deserve.
So when sleep nightly comes to me,
With all of these warm blankets piled on my back,
I'll hike to see the church of dreams,
Where all of the shutters are painted black.

And it seems like that's real until the time I awake,
And at midnight the moonlight reflects as the lake
Is shining at me, until night takes it away.
There's one world in the distance, one world in the way,
And not one can stay.

And I have seen the wood of dreams,
Carved grainless and clean with a sweep of one hand,
And have been happy with the leaves on my body when laid under land.
So when sleep finally comes to me
Because it comes for the sleek like it comes for the lame
I'll sink beneath a weight of dreams so full and complete that I'm pushed from my name.

And it seems like that's real until I fall asleep,
And then we load up the car and drive far to some street
Where a new life awaits, until day takes it away.
There's one world in the distance, one world in the way,
And not one can stay

This red-haired girl of mine tore a pinecone from the pine
To cut into her palm, singing the song her sinking lover sung
I shut my eyes, ripped the train from off the line
But a sudden gust of snow blew through a hole in my girl's clothes
Well, my girl knows she's not all right
And I don't mind.
Just give me time, baby, give me time.

Her stinging eyes, and her sixteen-hour drive, and our shared, transparent rope
And our icy dive through hope I'll memorize, and I'll cut into my mind
I can't believe it can be so
I won't believe that my girl froze

Well, my girl knows I'm coiled tight and green inside
Just give me time, baby, give me time

And that weight you hold, it's getting light
And, love, I know you'll raise it easily up high
Just give it time, just give it time

Oh baby, just give it time.

What if there's no hidden track
No journey there, no journey back
The rain falls down upon the same old grass
The rain falls down
The rain falls down
The rain falls down

What if there's no secret word
No matter what you thought you heard
I asked the other son and he averred
No secret word
No secret word
No hidden track

But my words left me
And my heart it just went slack
Just went slack
When I saw it passing
'Cause what if it can't come back
It can't come back
There's no hidden track

What if there's no trapdoor down
The cold hard floor, the cold hard ground
The cold hard car commute back into town
No trapdoor down
No trapdoor down
No hidden track

My words left
And my heart it just went slack
Just went slack
When I saw it passing
'Cause what if they can't come back
They can't come back
There's no hidden track
No hidden track

But for all of us and all of you
There's some things we can't see into
'Cause from the other side no light shows through
I hope that there's a hidden track
It feels like there's a hidden track
