In My Dreams



I hear the sound of your guitar
Comin' from the mystic far
Stone and the gravel in your voice
Come in my dreams and I rejoice


Count the band in then kick into overdrive

By the end of the set we leave no one alive



Ghosts runnin' through the night

Our spirits filled with light




I make my vows to those who've come before

I turn up the volume, let the spirits be my guide

Meet you brother and sister on the other side



Faded pictures in an old scrapbook

Faded pictures that somebody took

When you were hard and young and proud

Backed against the wall, running raw and loud






The lost souls search for saviors but saviors don't last long






Big black train comin' down the track

Blow your whistle long and long

One minute you're here, next minute you're gone



Stars vanish in a sky as black as stone



Nils by Stuart Bailie













All your favorite records and the books that you read


We'll meet and live and laugh again
I'll see you in my dreams
Up around the river bend

It's a fixed game without any rules, 
an empty table on a ship of fools



They say that love, love comes and goes, but darlin' what, what do they know?

I'm reachin' for heaven, we'll make it there

'cause darlin' it's just the power of prayer 


















Congregation gone and the sun sets behind a weepin’ willow tree

Wonderin’ where can his baby be

Still at the end of every hard earned day people find some reason to believe
