Oh now mama, could you bend your ear for just a tiny minute?

I'm afraid I'm goin crazy again, could you spare me a little perspective?

See, I'm having all these visions, ma, but I don't want you to worry

And there's this girl that I must've been wild about in some long-distance point in my history

And I saw her last night with a handsome young man

She was glowing to me, is she glowing to him?

And mama she was famous in my dreams

And on a good night, can you keep a secret in the long night?

Where heaven meets the ocean, I will find you in a dream

In between the needles and the pins

Where you and I go walkin' in our sleep

Mm-mm

And I don't mind, the empty hours, I'm learning to sit with my demons

Been itching to write up this book again, but it's so hard explaining the fevers

I'm workin' to live with the livin', ma, cause I spent too many years running

And I just want to find somebody designed with the same old electricity humming

And I saw her last night with a handsome young man

She was perfect to me, is she perfect to him?

And mama she was famous in my dreams

And on a good night, can you keep a secret in the long night?

Where heaven meets the ocean, I will find you in a dream

In between the needles and the pins

Where you and I go walkin' in our sleep

Where you and I go walkin' in our sleep

If you see her, see em waitin on the fireworks

I'm waitin on this sunbird, I'm waitin on the fireworks

And on a good night, well can you keep a secret in the long night?

Where heaven meets the ocean, I will find you in a dream

Yes, I will find you in a dream

And on a good night, can you keep a secret in the long night?

Where heaven meets the ocean, I will find you in a dream

In between the needles and the pins

Where you and I go walkin' in our sleep

Where you and I go walkin' in our sleep

Honey, ain't this life, woah

Honey, ain't this life a pretty little dream?

Honey, ain't this life a pretty little dream?
