Lonesome Dreams
Lord Huron Lyrics

Minor changes and grammar I land on an island coast
I arrive on an island with slight alterations to my surroundings and language.

Where the only souls I see are ghosts
This island seems to only house spirits of the deceased.

I run through a wooded isle
I sprint through a forested area on this island.

And I chase the sunlight mile after mile
I go after the bright light of the sun for an extended period.

And I feel like I know this place
This location is familiar to me in some way.

As the tree line breaks into wide-open space
The trees part and I find myself in an expansive area.

I stare at a bright red sun
I gaze upon a vividly red sun in the sky.

Though I search all day, I never find anyone
Even after a long hunt, I never come across another person.

I walk on a winding road
I journey down a curving path.

In the deep of the night, near the edge of the known
It's the middle of the night, close to the limits of my knowledge.

I pass by a moonlit lake
I move past a body of water illuminated by the moon's light.

And a cold wind blows and my bones start to shake
A chilly wind arises and I begin to shiver.

And I feel I should know this place
I have a sense that I should recognize this area.

As the road winds on into wide-open space
The path continues into a vast, open region.

The wind plays a haunting tone
The breeze creates a disturbing melody.

As I make my way through the night all alone
I journey through the night by myself on this ominous road.

I been dreaming again of a lonesome world
I have been experiencing visions of isolation and solitude once more.

Where I'm lost and I've got no friends
In this dream, I am misplaced and without companionship.

Just the rocks and the trees in my lonesome dreams
Only inanimate objects like stones and plants accompany me in this dreamworld.

And a road that don't never end
My path stretches on indefinitely and never ceases.

I been dreaming again of a lonesome world
Again, I have had dreams of being solitary and detached.

Where I'm lost and I'm on my own
I am stranded and self-sufficient in this phantasmal land.

What am I destined to be? It's a mystery baby
My fate is unknown and uncertain, my dear.

Just please don't leave me alone
I entreat you not to abandon me in this forlorn domain.

I lie under starlit sky
I rest beneath the light of the starry sky.

And the seasons change in the blink of an eye
The passing of seasons occurs in an instant.

I watch as the planets turn
I observe the rotation of celestial bodies.

And the old stars die and the young stars burn
Aging stars perish while fresh stars ignite.

But I don't really know this place
Despite all of these events, I am still unsure of this location's identity.

And it's lonesome here in the wide-open space
The boundless terrain does not alleviate my feeling of isolation.

Can it be as real as it seems?
I wonder if this reality is as genuine as it appears.

Maybe this time I won't wake from the dream
Perhaps, unlike past illusions, I will not return to reality from this dream.
