My Pillow Is the Threshold Lyrics
Silver Jews
Lookout Mountain Lookout Sea
My Pillow Is The Threshold
I take decaf coffee
Two sugars and one cream
I don't see the use in staying up
Just to watch tvI unplug all the neon
Turn the ringer off the phone
Throw my thoughts like tomahawks
Into this world which I disownBecause the pillow that i dream on
Is the threshold of a kingdom
Is the threshold of a world
Where I'm with youIts a dark and snowy secret
And it has to do with heaven
And what looks like sleep
Is really hot pursuitI 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 toldSomewhere in a foggy atlas
Lookout mountain, lookout sea
First life takes time, then time takes life
Now the next move's up to meBecause the pillow that I dream on
Leads to some fantastic glory
It's a threshold of a world
I can't ignoreLike 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
