k.d. lang - After the Gold Rush

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 through 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

I dreamed I saw a 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
