okkervil river - dead faces lyrics

Loading...

and we have fun — we go laughing and running
down to the water, there by the sea
where the body just floats like a rowboat
and the moon’s like a harbor light lit in the sky.

and this picture’s got a woman who looks like you
and a guy who looks just like someone i’ve seen.
when it turns out, i hope that it turns out,
i hope that it turns out the way that you dreamed.

embarcadero train station’s empty,
and i just cannot believe how long it takes
all the way home through the city.
and everyone’s looking – at least, it’s nice to believe that everyone’s looking.

and this picture’s got a woman who looks like you
and a guy who looks just like someone i’ve seen.
when it turns out, i hope that it turns out,
i hope that it turns out the way that you dreamed.

ghostly faces at my living-room window
they are not scared of me because they know i can’t hurt them.
they press up and see, in the lamp-glow,
all of the hurt and the love inside of me.

it’s their final duty to see right through me.
i tell them “twelve hours until the dawn, but we’ve got to hold on.
hold on to me, because we’ll be running

down to the water this morning.”
well, n-body waits for you to believe
in ghosts, lit by moonlight or dawning,
or in this picture of you and me.
