Dreams Of Our Fathers Lyrics - Everyday - Dave Matthews Band

Oh, I'm choking, I'm choking 

On the smoke from this burning house 

I claw and I scrape 

But I can't seem to get out 

But who then, who is this 

That's scratching from the ground 

Oh, it's my world, too 

But whose gold is this I'm digging out? 

When we go, where 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? 

Yes, it is 

Without or with this shadow of doubt

I don't want to wake up 

Lost in the Dreams of our Fathers 

Oh, it's such a waste child 

To live and die for the Dreams of our Fathers 

Though I must confess, yes 

My view is a wonder about this 

This love I possess, love 

Must be the Dreams of our Fathers 

I wanna go, I wanna run 

We turn, so sure someone's looking down 

It's haunting me, haunting me 

Leaves us here to get out 

Though I don't believe, I don't believe 

This flavor in my mouth 

Is from my tongue alone 

So bitter I wanna spit it out 

Photos 

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 echo, an echo 

Of empty, empty emptiness 

Comes up and swells inside 

I don't want to wake up 

Lost in the Dreams of our Fathers 

Oh, it's such a waste child 

To live and die for the Dreams of our Fathers 

Though I must confess, yes 

My view is a wonder about this 

This love I possess, love 

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 here, look here 

Bloated, floating 

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 

Oh, it's such a shame child 

To live and die for the Dreams of our Fathers 

Though I must confess, yes 

My view is a wonder about this 

This love I possess, love 

It must be the Dreams of our Fathers 

This love I possess, love 

It must be the Dreams of our Fathers 

This love I possess, love 

It must be the Dreams of our Fathers 

This love I possess, love 

It must be the love of our fathers 

The dreams 

The dreams 

The dreams 

This love I possess love
