I Dreamt of God - Gavin Clark

I dreamt of god last night

Woke up on the side step, in fluorescent light

The kerb was kicking in, and I was in full flight

Oh yeah, I dreamt of god last night

I counted up the years

Later scared my face, on all the acid tears

The measure of a man, who grades his life by fears

Oh yeah, I counted up the years

Up on the roof, of a concrete block

I tasted it once, I know it don’t stop

You’re leaving, you’re leaving, baby don’t speak

I lean over the edge

And spit in the street

I dreamt of god last night

Layed out on the red brick, watching satellites

Crawl across the sky, and making all things right

Oh yeah, I dreamt of god last night

I counted up my days

The people I’ve betrayed

The people I have saved

The goodness, and the mercy

Followed all my ways

Oh yeah, I counted up my days

Often I hear, the blood harmonies

Come in off the coast, come in on the breeze

I’m tired, I’m tired, baby don’t speak

My head on the stairs, my feet in the street

I dreamt of god last night

A father to the orphan of eternal life

A love that has no shadow

Knows my pain, my plight

Oh yeah, I dreamt of god last night
