Longest Dream
written y Kim Beggs
from the album Blue Bones
John Raham - drums
Keith Lowe – double bass
Steve Dawson – pedal steel
Natalie Edelson - harmony
Kim Beggs – guitar, vocal
He knows
It’s coming fast
His engine slow
His windows black
Its shaken him
Shaken him silly
Ache in his bones
Get along billy
Its dark in here
Can’t see the sky
Look at that blue
And close his eyes
And comb his hair
For the longest dream
Takin’ him for to see
He’s ready
For his last trip
Its time
For him to rest
On the eastbound rail
And know what’s next
He loved her well
The best he can
She could not bare
She don’t know how
Deep in his heart
She will be there
To comb his hair
For the longest dream
Takin’ him for to see
Fly away
Beyond these walls
Above the clouds
Where there ain’t no fog
He isn’t here
Look at the sky
Into that blue
And close his eyes
And comb his hair
For the longest dream
Takin’ him for to see
