Lyric Dreams of Our Fathers - Dave Matthews Band

Lyric Song Dreams of Our Fathers: OhI m chokingI m choking
On the smoke from this burning house
I claw and I scrape
But I can t seem to get out
But who thenwho is this
That s scratching from the ground
Ohit s my worldtoo
But whose gold is this I m digging out

When we gowhere we go
When we re dead
Is the verdict still out
Do we get into line
To line up with those long dead now
With the muffled tears of sorrow
Bones underground
Is this time our time
Yesit is
Without or with this shadow of doubt

I don t want to wake up
Lost in the Dreams of our Fathers
Ohit s such a waste child
To live and die for the Dreams of our Fathers
Though I must confessyes
My view is a wonder about this
This love I possesslove
Must be the Dreams of our Fathers

I wanna goI wanna run
We turnso sure someone s looking down
It s haunting mehaunting me
Leaves us here to get out
Though I don t believeI don t believe
This flavor in my mouth
Is from my tongue alone
So bitter I wanna spit it out

I repeat these words
They come out
Under the blue light in the sky
My empty pages are filling up
With these wicked lies
But I hear deep in myself
An echoan echo
Of emptyempty emptiness
Comes up and swells inside

I don t want to wake up
Lost in the Dreams of our Fathers
Ohit s such a waste child
To live and die for the Dreams of our Fathers
Though I must confessyes
My view is a wonder about this
This love I possesslove
It must be the Dreams of our Fathers

Rain on my head
Rain on my head
Rain on me
And then give me air
Rain on my love
Again and again
Why can t I dream you away from me

Look herelook here
Bloatedfloating
Go belly down
Belly up in the water
But who is this here that s drowned
We followed a drunken man
He got us all spinning round
But it s like he swallowed himself
And didn t leave us a way out

I don t want to wake up
Lost in the Dreams of our Fathers
Ohit s such a shame child
To live and die for the Dreams of our Fathers
Though I must confessyes
My view is a wonder about this
This love I possesslove
It must be the Dreams of our Fathers

This love I possesslove
It must be the Dreams of our Fathers
This love I possesslove
It must be the Dreams of our Fathers
This love I possesslove
It must be the love of our fathers

The dreams
The dreams
The dreams
This love I possess love
