Dream Awhile - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

When I have a problem

I know just what to do

I go to bed and dream a while

Something will come through

The sky is ever darkening

My bones begin to shake

The streets of town are emptying

There’s no one left awake

Concern, concern that’s all there is

The tambour of the day

But when I close my eyes I find

There is another way

When I have a problem

I know just what to do

I go to bed and dream a while

Something will come through

The way to roll is blatant

The air to breathe is clear

My worry bag is vacant

My cookie jar is here

My lady has my back she sings

That everything’s alright

So we lay down and sleep and dream

And spoon each other tight

When I have a problem

I know just what to do

I go to bed and dream a while

Something will come through

The sun is beating harder

The drum is playing loud

My father won’t take action cause

My father he is proud

My mother moans and locks herself

Into her private room

My brothers cry but I won’t buy

I’m not bothered by blue

When weighted down with wondering

The who, the why, the how

Dreamland is where it all began

And where were heading now

When I have a problem

I know just what to do

I go to bed and dream a while

Something will come through

I go to bed and dream a while

Something will come through
