lyrics

The Dreamkeeper and a gun--
He keeps you far away
I sleep as you run

The Dreamkeeper and a gun--
now I sleep with whiskey on my tongue
to taste you--

And in the land of what I want
armed guards spy
through the slatted gates of your eyes,
your thumbs are bullets
that wont go in straight lines

The Dreamkeeper and a gun--
you're now as near as the vision of sleep
like looking through sandstorm at a memory

And in the land of desire
sandstone desert of your skin
our love a dry lake,
all gone when I'm awake

The Dreamkeeper and a gun--
will you always be the only one I want?
