Gezundheit - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

I dreamed I saw Phil Ochs last night

Alive as you or me

Said, «Howdy Phil.

You’re fifteen years a-gone»

He said that he had never died

He said that he had never died

Down to my house, I saw him wandering

I said to him, «You've never entered my dreams»

He said, «Why should I ?»

He asked me, «Why should I ?»

«I thought that I had some sort of bond with you»

«You've none of the kind»

«But Phil, why do I feel this way ?»

«You've got an unhealthy mind»

He said that I’ve got an unhealthy mind

Another boy in lowly days

As he, to little things was born

But gathered lore in woodland ways

And from the glory of the morn

As wider skies broke on his view

God greatened in his growing mind;

Each year, he dreamed his God anew

And left his older God behind

He saw the boundless scheme dilate

In star and blossom, sky and clod;

And as the universe grew great

He dreamed it for a greater God
