Dreamed I Saw Soldiers - Neil Halstead
Written by：Damien Jurado
Climbed out the window and stared at the stars
But the moment I wanted had already passed
Lost in the silence blessed by the night
Dreamed I saw soldiers they were all dressed in white
All dressed in white
Well the summer came late so I slept here for days
Til Winter was over and my heart could be saved
I walked for a lifetime and I climbed in a hole
She had breasts on the outside she had breath in her soul
Death in her soul
Placed in a bottle and flung out to sea
I was stung by the thought that the ship was now me
Lost in the silence blessed by the night
I dreamed I saw soldiers they were all dressed in white
All dressed in white
A fellow by nature I fell for a way
That would shake me all over and spin me around
Twisted my feelings til I nearly drowned
It was love at first sight the first time around
Time around
We stared at the walls til we lost all the dawn
Waiting for words I said I've been cursed by your love
Crying for shame
So what has become of our love
Of our love
Now all the neighbors have stolen my stash
I write poems about death I ain't finished one yet
Lost in the silence blessed by the night
I dreamed I saw soldiers they were all dressed in white
All dressed in white
