Silver Jews - My Pillow Is The Threshold Lyrics
I take decaf coffee
Two sugars and one cream
I don't see the use in staying up
Just to watch TV
Turn the ringer off the phone
Throw my thoughts like tomahawks
Into this world which I disown
Because the pillow that I dream on
Is the threshold of a kingdom
Is the threshold of a world
Where I'm with you
It's a dark and snowy secret
And what looks like sleep
Is really hot pursuit
I hold your picture in my mind
It makes me warm when I'm cold
It gets me up, it makes me walk
It makes me question what I'm told
Somewhere in a foggy atlas
Lookout mountain, lookout sea
First life takes time, then time takes life
Now the next move's up to me
Because the pillow that I dream on
Leads to some fantastic glory
It's a threshold of a world
I can't ignore
Like time on school from heaven (?)
Did you find me sleeping in your doorway
Now I'm here for good
I won't leave you anymore

DCB's lyrics have followed me throughout my life. It is amazing how different albums of his can speak directly to my soul in different periods of my life.
Wow. I continue to be amazed by the songs and lyrics on this album. I meant to check it out in 2008 but I'm glad I didn't that year because there was so much good music that year that that I might not have appreciated these songs for their genius
This song is wrote about Jeremy Blake
Please, please Mr. Berman make a new album. You guys keep getting better.
Pain works on a sliding scale. So does pleasure in a candy jail.
Like time unspooled from heaven*
