Nearly Beloved

Nearly Beloved by The Wallflowers words and music by Jakob Dylan Last night I dreamt one thousand lives I could see the dawn through a different set of eyes There in my slumber passing time Long live the world resting on its side I walked the orchard with you Your hand in my mine In the evergreens drinking wine I saw the snow fall in black and white from the auburn sky Last night I lived more than one thousand lives Not one of them survived Up through the earth and dawn I came I crossed the kingdom through venom pouring rain In the vacuum of my own brigade Resurrected to make you mine again Orpheus looked back once, she sailed the underworld No second chances will be earned I have returned as a phantom now to walk the bow and stern Last night I lived more than one thousand lives Not one of them survived If we could do better I know that we would Maybe admit it now, we're not that good We keep the needle between zero and one You play your fiddle, baby, I'll play dumb Into the pastures of our minds Goes my nearly beloved and I Blazing two parallel white lines Through this broken heart spilled open wide Time might be on my side But it's mostly far behind I was the apple of your eye Now I'm the boy spinning on a wheel there stuck with knives Last night I lived more than one thousand lives Not one of them survived
