lyrics

We join for days
Those few bright days
Warm sunshine rays
After the storm

They pass as quick
As daylight fades
From sunset haze
To twilight chrome

Then weeks of desperate longing
And going on in our separate lives

Small games in mind
Make fun of words
Meant not to be said easily

I won’t sleep or wake next to you
Feel your breath, your heartbeat or touch you
Miles and time they stand between you and me
maybe we'll meet in a dream

Reality' s bare without her
So I live through a passing memory
Every memory is laughter
Yet with sweet, sorrowful pain
Every laugh is her laugh
'Cause I rejoice with this sound
Every sound
Breaks the silence and
I am nude again


I won’t sleep or wake next to you
Feel your breath, your heartbeat or touch you
Miles and time they stand between you and me
maybe we'll meet in a dream

I dream a dream of you
it is so real
I dream it every night

I walk the roads I see
when my eyes close
and wind up in your arms

At night I run through cities
I don’t know
and never come to harm

I dream my dream of you
at night and
in the morning I’m alone

The parting act
So glorious
The tear, the hug
A thorn in my heart

Until the coming
Of springtime
I face the winter
With your song

I won’t sleep or wake next to you
Feel your breath, your heartbeat or touch you
Miles and time they stand between you and me
maybe we'll meet in a dream

People say various things about We Govern We.One of their members thinks it's like Cindy Lauper w/ the Killers.Their local paper describes them as Shiny Toy Guns with a BitterSweet.Maybe it's La Roux touring with the Bad Seeds, but it doesn't really matter because how can you pigeonhole a band that, after paying tribute to the Pixies and Placebo, names both Duran Duran and Sigur Ros as influences? ... more
