lyrics

Papa tells me
The invasion
Will come within the week

We leave Paris
Three days later
Chaos in the streets

Trains aren’t leaving
We start walking
Papa carries me sometimes

In my dreams they are
Chasing after me
In my dreams they are
Demons who don’t care
What they stole from my family
What they stole

Papa tells me
Three more miles
He says that for three days

When we get
To Uncle’s house
I find a bed and I lay

I lay I lay I lay I lay I lay I lay I lay I lay I lay
For three days
I lay I lay I lay I lay I lay I lay I lay I lay I lay
For three days

When I wake up
We eat peaches
On Uncle’s balcony

In my dreams they are
Chasing after me
In my dreams they are
Demons who don’t care
What they stole from my family
What they stole from my family
What they stole

Three years later
There’s no peaches
All I eat is bread

Papa’s gone
Uncle’s gone
All I’ve got left is this radio

I play a song
Much too long
They will surely hear

Let them come
Let them take me away
Just let this music play

Let it play it play it play it play it play it play
For three days
Let it play it play it play it play it play it play
For three days

When I wake up
I see nothing
But the sea of flames

Joe Dickinson Chicago, Illinois

Hi, I’m Joe Dickinson.

I'm a DIY singer/songwriter from Chicago, IL.

It's not easy, balancing the external demands of work/life with the internal demands of creativity, but I'm working toward a set of sustainable internal systems that will allow me to continue to write, record, and release songs. Hopefully for the rest of my life.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen. ... more
