Seas Too Far to Reach

The ladies in my dream - so obliging 
  They come on down to do the things I need 
  Whether skies are calm or cut apart by lightning 
  They're always there to minister to me 

  And at break of dawn, they're sweetly shining 
  Or at quiet of midnight, cold and dim 
  They say "don't harm him" 
  And when I wake just as their eyes are crying 
  I see that bed and I just want to climb back in 
  But let's gather up your friends and drive up to that country inn 
  We can stay there, feeling water warmly wash across our skin 
  Giving back all of our tears so that we can cry them again 

  You want to tell your dad you can't believe he's dying 
  But let's just walk on down the hall and shut our mouths 
  The AM radio is broken down and crying 
  As on this hour drive we're silent to ourselves 

  Let's go back up to your house, and take our clothes off 
  And just push and pull ourselves until we're deep inside of sleep 
  And with your body next to me, its sleepy sighing 
  Sounds like waves upon a sea too far to reach 
  But I'll gather up my men and try to sail on it again 
  And we'll walk and quietly talk all through the country of your skin 
  Made up of pieces of the places that you've dreamed and that you've been 
  And we will sleep outside in tents upon this unfamiliar land 
  In the morning we'll awake, yeah, as a foreign dawning breaks 
  My men and I will all awake 
  Let's try again
