You only miss it when it's long gone
ย
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
ย
You only miss it when it's long gone
ย
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
ย
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
ย
And there was high water everywhere
Back teeth were swimming and I wished I cared
My teeth are swimming and I wish that I cared
ย
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
ย
If we could hear a little bit of this broken cry, we might survive
ย
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
