Lyrics

[Instrumental intro] You only miss it when it's long gone You only hear it when it's our song These are the echoes of the dream time This is a message from another life This is a haunting of your own mind These are the echoes of the dream time You only miss it when it's long gone I've been waking the dead I've been leaning on tradition Trying to make amends with the dead Prayer candles that I burn at both ends Missed opportuninies that I won't share again I recognize in the touch of a friend That I am closer to the place I began And so far from where I wanted to end You only miss it when it's long gone You only hear it when it's our song Keep looking up cause it's a long way down Keep looking up cause it's a long way down And now I'm walking with the dead An apparition trying to get ahead Bleed some pressure from this hole in my heavy head And there was high water everywhere Back teeth are swimming and I wish I cared My teeth are swimming and I wish that I cared You only miss it when it's long gone You only hear it when it's our song Keep looking up cause it's a long way down Keep looking up cause it's a long way down And I feel like making a confession or running for the door If we could hear [?] we might survive ([?] turn back now) These are the echoes of the dream time This is a message from another life This is a haunting of your own mind These are the echoes of the dream time
