I Dreamt of God

I dreamt of god last night
Woke up on the side step, in fluorescent light
The kerb was kicking in, and I was in full flight
Oh yeah, I dreamt of god last night
I counted up the years
Later scared my face, on all the acid tears
The measure of a man, who grades his life by fears
Oh yeah, I counted up the years
Up on the roof, of a concrete block
I tasted it once, I know it don’t stop
You’re leaving, you’re leaving, baby don’t speak
I lean over the edge
And spit in the street
I dreamt of god last night
Layed out on the red brick, watching satellites
Crawl across the sky, and making all things right
Oh yeah, I dreamt of god last night
I counted up my days
The people I’ve betrayed
The people I have saved
The goodness, and the mercy
Followed all my ways
Oh yeah, I counted up my days
Often I hear, the blood harmonies
Come in off the coast, come in on the breeze
I’m tired, I’m tired, baby don’t speak
My head on the stairs, my feet in the street
I dreamt of god last night
A father to the orphan of eternal life
A love that has no shadow
Knows my pain, my plight
Oh yeah, I dreamt of god last night
