Neil Halstead Dreamed I Saw Soldiers lyrics

Climbed out the window and stared at the stars
But the moment I wanted had already passed
Lost in the silence, blessed by the night
Dreamed I saw soldiers, they were all dressed in white
All dressed in white

Well, the summer came late so I slept here for days
'Til winter was over and my heart could be saved
I walked for a lifetime and I climbed in a hole
She had breasts on the outside, she had breath in her soul
Death in her soul

Placed in a bottle and flung out to sea
I was stung by the thought that the ship was now me
Lost in the silence, blessed by the night
I dreamed I saw soldiers, they were all dressed in white
All dressed in white

A fellow by nature, I fell for a way

That would shake me all over and spin me around
Twisted my feelings 'til I nearly drowned
It was love at first sight, the first time around
Time around

We stared at the walls 'til we lost all the dawn
Waiting for words I said, "I've been cursed by your love"
Crying for shame so what has become of our love
Of our love?

Now all the neighbors have stolen my stash
I write poems about death, I ain't finished one yet
Lost in the silence, blessed by the night
I dreamed I saw soldiers, they were all dressed in white
All dressed in white
