My Morning Jacket Dondante [Live] lyrics

In a dream I saw you walking
Like a kid alive and talking
That was you

On the streets you were policing
In the classroom you were teaching
That was you

To the one I now know most
I will tell them of your ghost like a thing
That never ever was

And all that ever mattered
Will someday turn back to better
Like a joke

Behind thin walls you hid your feelings
Takes four legs to make a ceiling
Like a thing

In a dream I saw you walking

With your friends alive and talking
That was you

Well, I saw it in your movement
Even though you never knew it
Well, I knew just how sweet it could be
If only you'd never left these streets

You had me worried, so worried
That this won't last
You had me worried, so worried
That this won't last

But now I'm learning
Learning that this will pass
But now I'm learning
Learning that this will pass
