Bendik - A Little Parade Lyrics

Bendik
Ix
A Little Parade
Pull a blanket over me, I'm ready
for a long night's sleep
In black and white they'll come to
me, images I never seek
Dream away...I long to be in the back
seat of my Rolls Joyce, dream away
And as the city slips backwards, soon I'll
only hear the engine noise

It's a little parade, here comes everyone I know
I'm asleep in the shade as they pass my window
It's the priest from Nilly, it's Jo from the store
Another looks silly, never seen him before
It's a little parade

The only dream I ever had in color was
of you and me
You and me, alone in a boat on the open sea
Anchors down
We walk up to the bow
and let that anchor down
Anchors down
I love that splashing sound

It's a little parade, here comes everyone I know
I'm asleep in the shade as they pass my window
They peek through the glass of tainted blue
People that served me, people untrue
It's a little parade, here comes everyone I know
It's a harlequinade, as they pass my window
And I am the anchor, I drift low and high
Slowly transforming into a bottomless sigh
It's a little parade
