It Was Only a Dream

from Blood for Ghosts by Duke Special

/

lyrics

I awoke from a fear that my fault had taken you away
So I’ll write down the bones and breathe you into the day
To refrain from the oft’ time medicine ’til it is clear
It was only a dream and a dream is a skeleton
We went up to Rathfriland, embraced the ache of the unknown
As the infinite light played tunes to churchyard and stones
Let me linger beside this ossuary ’til I recall
It was only a dream but the dream is perpetual
