After the Gold Rush - k.d.lang



Well I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming
Saying something about a queen
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
The archer split the tree
A fanfare blowing to the sun
That was floating on the breeze
Look at mother nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies
I was lying
In a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky
There was a
Band playing in my head
And I felt like getting high
I was thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
Dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones
All in a dream all in a dream
The loading had begun
Flying mother nature's
Silver seed to a
New home in the sun
Flying mother nature's
Silver seed to a new home
