Jeffrey Lewis - To go and return lyrics

Wish on a star, it's gonna work in the future In the time that it takes a wish to go and return When you're sleeping at night the wish is flying and flying The star will wait 'til it's time to listen and learn And the wish it will land in the star's giant hand And a bridge will appear to the star's giant ear And the wish it will walk to the ear and then talk And this all will take place deep in the forest of space Every song a bird has sung in the morning Is a song on the dark side that a bird dreams at night And each turn of the earth makes half the upside-down beaks Take a turn in the dream-songs from the ones upside-right And each time that they match there's a egg that will hatch 'til they open the moon, and the earth will hatch too 'til a chirp is expressed from each galaxy's nest And this all will take place deep in the forest of space When the wishes come back they'll be granted and given But the time that it took will be a life and a half So each life that we live is someone's wish from a distance Each wish that we make the future won't need to ask And the starlight that beams through each island that dreams Is reflected so small in the eyes of us all And each light bounces back to someplace out in the black From our face to its face deep in the forest of space
