lyrics

Dreams of Anna


The thrill is gone, the lights are out
Anna tells me to be proud
Many have died trying to climb
The staggering heights I now call mine
Anna will guide me through this time

When clouds are thick and the sun‘s too high
The leaves of autumn softly sigh
All good stories have been told
Mother earth‘s slaughtered and sold
But let‘s not cry, the bitch got old


I should have known there‘s a downside to every dreamworld
Cause life looks so much worse
Dreams of Anna leave me cursed

The nightmare‘s ending once the sun’s descending
And I close my eyes to breathe
Dreams of Anna bring me peace
Anna gets me to my knees
Anna will always wait for me


The sweetest dreams are not enough
They turn me on but won‘t get me off
Without release the tension grows
Until the curtain falls an no one knows
Why Anna leaves and where Anna goes

I put my book back on the shelf
And carve my prayers into stone
God helps those who help themselves
And leaves me back here on my own
Anna will get me through the night

Anna gets the way I write
My lack of symbols to describe
The way my mind creates a world
That sober eyes can not survive
Anna, keep me in the shade

Dreams of a non-narcotic aid
My head on Anna‘s shoulder blade
For once I rest within my wealth
With Anna‘s help I‘ll reach the health
To reunite me with myself

about

silent neighbor Zürich, Switzerland

Wilco? Tom Waits? Daniel Johnston played by a free jazz combo or maybe an Ed Sheeran-
Stravinsky crossover? «Tired Of Your Smile», the new album by silent neighbor, is just as multifaceted
and sometimes seemingly contradictory as these comparisons suggest. «Tired Of Your Smile» is an album filled with musical wit and
lyrical poignancy, bipolar emotional states and unexpected turns. Enjoy the ride!
