Poor Folks - The Dream of a Ridiculous Man (Audio)

Lyrics:

The cold metal barrel, the silence of the room
A flash of sudden darkness
Then a flower in the bloom
I left the heavy raincoat
I left the muddy street
The gravity is broken
And the silence is so sweet.
I’m rising through the ceiling, past the winter and the grey
A traveler in the velvet night, a billion miles away.

And I see the star, the little star, glowing in the deep
Is this the sun that warmed me, while the city fell asleep?
Oh, take me to the twin earth, where the waters never cry
Where the light is made of laughter, and the children never die.

I land upon the emerald grass, softer than a sigh
They run to me with open hands, no questions in their eyes.
I see the trees are trembling with a love I’ve never known
No jealousy, no angry words, no seeds of sorrow sown.
They kiss my hands, they kiss my eyes, they wash away the stain
Of all the years I spent on Earth, worshipping the pain.

How can you love a wretch like me?
A man who sold his truth?
"We love because we breathe," they said,
"We are the eternal youth."
I weep, I weep,
I kiss the ground
The truth I lost is finally found.

Oh, take me to the twin earth
Where the waters never cry
Where the light is made of laughter
And the children never die.
I will go back
I’ll tell them all
I’ll preach it in the square
That paradise is not a dream
It’s waiting in the air

Love is the law.
Love is the air.
I saw the truth...
I saw the truth...
