Basement Dream Lyrics

Fifty ringlets And blue birds too The dust will settle And so will you To follow rivers To their ends The room is spinning Round again Shiny rifles On your wall And soon your new man Is bound to fall You're saving your best For someone else Your friends are leaving And that don't help Suspicious drifters On your trail You turn back to them When all else fails They're casting shadows They're laying low They long to tell you What you don't know Desperation And roads closed off Love in a phone call And death in a cough It's so hard to make it It's so hard to say Just where you'll end up By the end of the day The air is cooler The leaves look down Tonight I think I'll Go downtown To find what drives us So far apart I just might find out Where you are Through the daydreams The dust and noise The worn-out people The girls and boys From holding on To just letting be From me to you And you to me Tiny diamonds Are all that's left Of all those mountains Left as our gifts And now the rivers Have reached their ends The world is spinning Round again
