John Dyer Nickles and Dimes Lyrics

i was a sunrise
you were a bird in a tree
how could i tell lies
to someone i couldn't see
it never left us
because it never arrived
we were just two tears
in a whole world of cries
i got everybody to listen
but nobody hears
cause they're all stuck on
what i was stuck on for years
and while some study where he was from
there are others who will wait forever for him to come

please leave me alone, i'm trying to sleep
this thunder of truth is getting to me

i can't remember the last night i spent alone
i'm always hosting every thought that i've ever known
i laugh at time like it's a little brother
who got something that i always wanted
the kerosene that lights my tent
escaped the lamp and it hopped the fence
i don't care, i don't care, i must be leaving
i've got someplace to be and i don't care
it's just a dream

i was a sunrise
you were a bird in a tree
how could i tell lies
to someone i couldn't see
it never left us
because it never arrived
we were just two tears
in a whole world of cries
i got everybody to listen
but nobody hears
cause they're all stuck on
what i was stuck on for years
and while some study where he was from
there are others who will wait forever for him to come

please leave me alone, i'm trying to sleep
this thunder of truth is getting to me

i can't remember the last thing i said on the phone
i hope it was a big stick instead of a stone
i wonder all the different colors
flowers would be if they drank wine
i saw the headline in my head
but i can't remember what it said
i don't care, i don't care, i must be leaving
i've got someplace to be and i don't care
it's just a dream

i watch the same film every night, there is no color, only black and white, ask me nicely and i will recite the whole thing, line for line

i was a sunrise
you were a bird in a tree
how could i tell lies
to someone i couldn't see
it never left us
because it never arrived
we were just two tears
in a whole world of cries
i got everybody to listen
but nobody hears
cause they're all stuck on
what i was stuck on for years
and while some study where he was from
there are others who will wait forever for him to come

please leave me alone, i'm trying to sleep
this thunder of truth is getting to me

i don't care, i don't care, i must be leaving
i've got someplace to be and i don't care

i don't care, i don't care, i must be leaving
i've got someplace to be and i don't care
it's just a dream
