Jolie Holland - The Future lyrics

Everything around here makes me sad Everything is part of the dreams that we had That will never be the way we wanted them to be When we dreamed these dreams that we had We wanted them to be the future That is now is not how we dreamed of the future With a house and a love that I would ride into the future With my arms around you tight My love in your heart, my lust on your shoulder Is like a beautiful (incomprehensible) Flashing gallant as a stallion on parade through the city A beautiful dream, a bohemian love song That would only sound more gallant as the years would perfect it But I can see in my heart which is beating in the present here and now I can see that this is only a dream Come on and wake up with me Hey, come on and wake up with me Hey, come on and wake up with me Everything around here is so beautiful Everything is part of the dreams we will paint That will never look the way we thought that they would look When we began to step into the future From the place that we are standing It don't look too good right now But I know you're a wonderful painter You're a master with your colors And as mine get fainter and your pallet There will always be an afterglow of a beautiful dream That will never be the way we dreamed it to be But hey, come on and wake up with me Hey, come on and wake up with me Hey, come on and wake up with me Hey, come on and wake up with me Hey, come on and wake up with me from our beautiful dream
