A Dream Within A Dream
from The Opposite Side Of The Sea by Oren Lavie
lyrics
The road stretches on
From unknown destination
Across open streams
Through fields of carnation
It enters a city, a building
It stretches ahead
It stops at the feet
The feet of his bed
He’s aware of a small inclination
A dream in a dream
He pays no attention
Oranges hover
And faces all over
He knows
Is how the dream goes
Caught within a dream
Within a dream
A man within a man
Caught within a thought
Within a thought
And oceans so deep
He will drown in his sleep
The wind whistles low
And the windows are yielding
The telephone rings
In the opposite building
A voice with a likeable,
Unrecognizable air
It runs in the walls
It isn’t quite there
He’s aware of a change in the weather
A dream in a dream
He’ll think of it later
A wonderful melody line
That he couldn’t quite get
He couldn’t remember
He’ll never forget
Caught within a dream
Within a dream
A man within a man
Caught within a thought
Within a thought
And oceans so deep
He will drown in his sleep
From unknown destination
Across open streams
Through fields of carnation
It enters a city, a building
It stretches ahead
It stops at the feet
The feet of his bed
He’s aware of a small inclination
A dream in a dream
He pays no attention
Oranges hover
And faces all over
He knows
Is how the dream goes
Caught within a dream
Within a dream
A man within a man
Caught within a thought
Within a thought
And oceans so deep
He will drown in his sleep
The wind whistles low
And the windows are yielding
The telephone rings
In the opposite building
A voice with a likeable,
Unrecognizable air
It runs in the walls
It isn’t quite there
He’s aware of a change in the weather
A dream in a dream
He’ll think of it later
A wonderful melody line
That he couldn’t quite get
He couldn’t remember
He’ll never forget
Caught within a dream
Within a dream
A man within a man
Caught within a thought
Within a thought
And oceans so deep
He will drown in his sleep

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe.
