Waking The Dead

Waking the Dead - Sam Roberts

Written by：Sam Roberts

You only miss it when it's long

Gone

You only hear it when it's our song

These are the echoes of the dreamtime

This is a message from another life

This is a haunting of your own mind

These are the echoes of the dreamtime

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 opportunities we won't share again

I recognized in the touch of a friend

That I am closer to the place I began

And so far from where I want it 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 wished 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 heal

A little bit of this broken pride

We might survive

These are the echoes of the dreamtime

This is a message from another life

This is a haunting of your own mind

These are the echoes of the dreamtime
